Adult language |
 |
| Ashley, a Puerto Rican girl from Philly, is getting a D in Spanish, and at home everything's lost in translation -- her mother's attention is always elsewhere, and her grandma just sits in the dark and watches Spanish soap operas. With the help of an old soup recipe and some family history, can Ashley create a new language with her grandma? |

| "Filled with Spanish and a sense of mystery. Hudes' play swims in a sea of language. As needs and intentions get lost in translation, [Ashley] discovers that actions can forge new levels of understanding and the value of forging, and maintaining, intergenerational ties." |
