An archeological dig on the island of Minorca reveals human remains where none were expected, seeting in motion a more personal sort of excavation on the part of one of the archeologists.  As the past is unearthed, boundaries--personal and professional, national and ethnic--are set, crossed, and broken in the attempt to define the identity of a woman misplaced.

"engrossing... Koon deploys a sober, nuanced immigrant’s tale that stands in refreshing contrast to the bombast and hysteria of our time."

"Menorca is most definitely a coup for the ambitious 16th Street Theater.  This is a work that will linger with you beyond its two hours running time."
