THE CHINESE LADY by Lloyd Suh
Directed by Justin Jain Featuring: Bi Jean Ngo and Dan Kim. In 1834, 14-year-old Afong Moy becomes the first Chinese woman to set foot on U.S. soil, dreaming of bridging the two countries’ cultures with her political savvy and philosophical prowess. But as she delights curious white people with displays of her daily life, does her (side) show bridge the cultural gap or widen it? “Piercing and intimate… By the end of Mr. Suh’s extraordinary play, we look at Afong and see whole centuries of American history.” -New York Times
