Daphne Rubin-Vega’s solo show, FUQ’s: Frequently Unanswered Questions, is a rock and roll infused odyssey about the bonds of a family separated not just by the Gulf of the Caribbean but an even wider gulf–unspoken love and longing–and the loneliness of being the last one standing. Intimate, tender and hilarious, Ms. Rubin-Vega’s semi-autobiography is written with playwright Winter Miller and directed by John Gould Rubin.
