East West Players (EWP), the nation’s longest-running professional theater of color in and the largest producing organization of Asian American artistic work, continues its 50th anniversary season, “Golden,” with the comedic play “Chinglish” by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang and directed by Jeff Liu.
Generous support for this production is provided by the S. Mark Taper Foundation Endowment for East West Players.
An American businessman who is desperately looking to score a lucrative contract for his family’s firm travels to China, only to learn how much he doesn’t understand: his translators are unreliable, his consultant may be a fraud, and he is captivated by Xi, the beautiful, seemingly supportive government official who talks the talk – but what is she saying, anyway?
“As the namesake of our theater, it is only fitting that a work by David Henry Hwang be a part of our 50th anniversary season,” says Tim Dang, producing artistic director. “David is truly a trailblazer in expanding the spectrum of stories that explore the Asian American experience and ‘Chinglish’ is his latest and the most relevant in reflecting the global world in which we live. ‘Chinglish’ is a smart and comedic way of examining how lines, and cultures get crossed in international relations.”
The cast features Kara Wang (Chen Kaige’s “Caught in the Web” and Daniel Hsia’s “Shanghai Calling”) as Xi Yan, Matthew Jaeger as Daniel Cavanaugh, Jeff Locker as Peter Timms, Ben Wang as Cai Guolang, Leann Lei as Miss Qian and Prosecutor Li, Ewan Chung as Bing and Judge Xu Geming, and Joy Yao as Zhao.
The design team includes Hana Sooyeon Kim (sets), Lonnie Rafael Alcaraz (lighting), Yuheng Dai (costumes), Dennis Yen (sound), and Michael O’Hara (props). Stage manager is Sylvia Trinh.
