Jessie, who hasn't seen her mother since she was 14, is on her way home, bringing with her a foster child who won't talk and a runaway they've picked up along the way. Meanwhile, her estranged mother awaits their arrival at the bus station in Questa, New Mexico, next to a woman who longs for a disappeared love to return.
Questa debuted at the historic CHARAS/El Bohio Community Center in New York City in 1991, and received its West Coast premiere in L.A. Theatre Works' production.
Recorded at The Guest Quarters Suite Hotel, Santa Monica, in June 1991.
