During a birthday gathering for Ruthie, a grandmother with a day pass from her nursing home, her unhappy family confronts its shared past. Ruthie’s daughters, their children, and eccentric Aunt Sylvia are thrown into turmoil when a German-speaking, soda-drinking shapeshifter appears, awakening the family’s buried secrets. The play reshapes Schiller’s story of rival queens into a supernatural family drama.
