| Summary |
Presented by Pulitzer Prize-winner, Paula Vogel, Bard at the Gate offers a simple glance at plays that are ground-breaking: plays that were too ambitious, too quirky and too smart to be contained. Strong scripts. Raw talent. New audiences. New Bards. The plays in the series have been chosen by Ms. Vogel from among the hundreds and hundreds of scripts she has read and/or mentored over four decades: works that have been overlooked and never produced, along with plays that deserve a wider audience. Suh's new work is set in 1967 Berkeley where grad student Frank Chan and his activist girlfriend Kathy Ching are staging a revolution against the backdrop of the War in Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movement. What results is a trip through the history of Asians in America - from the ancestral railways to the legacy of Charlie Chan stereotypes - ending in an orientalist minstrel show and murder |
