One of the best plays I've ever seen. The lead actor is marvelous, as is the rest of the cast, and the story is clever, witty, and very relevant.Written on Jun 03 2007

Interesting play. A bit too long, and the second act got a little heavy-handed towards the end. But all in all it was worth seeing.Written on May 28 2007

Description
A biting new comedy from the Tony Award-winning author of M. Butterfly.
David Henry Hwang writes himself into this world premiere, blurring truth and fiction to expose previously “untold events” behind his most disastrous Broadway flop.
Family politics, international intrigue and Senate investigators converge in this wild satire about cultural identity – all in pursuit of the ever-elusive truth. After inadvertently casting a white actor in the Asian lead role, the author finds himself in an embarrassing, ironic and hilarious position that takes the PC out of PC.
Los Angeles-born playwright David Henry Hwang received the Tony Award for his Broadway debut, M. Butterfly, co-wrote the book for Elton John and Tim Rice’s musical Aida, and wrote the book for Disney’s Broadway musical Tarzan. His adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song premiered at the Mark Taper Forum in 2001.
Presented by Center Theatre Group and The Public Theater in association with East West Players.
