Synopsis
Contemporary Asian American Plays - Version 3
Published by Theatre Communications
This major anthology of contemporary Asian American offers the following ...
Julia Cho's Durango
Sunil Kuruvilla's Rice Boy
Han Ong's Swoony Planet
Sung Rno's Wave
Diana Son's Boy
Alice Tuan's Last of the Suns
And Chay Yew's Question 27, Question 28
These are works that readily combine the Medea myth with wave-particle physics; that nimbly move between a field in Kitchener, Canada, and a treetop in Kerala, India; that fully explore complexities of gender, sexuality, and family, demonstrating the cultural and aesthetical diversity of the new generation
Also included is The Square, a choral piece by sixteen leading playwrights (including Maria Irene Fornes, Jessica Hagedorn, David Henry Hwang, Craig Lucas, José Rivera, and Mac Wellman) meditating on 120 years of relationships between non-Asian Americans and the Asian American community, set in a public square of an American city's Chinatown
