YELLOW SHAKESPEARE

Dear AnD Friends and Fans,

If you are in Los Angeles, hope you will join me in a staged reading of my play, "YELLOW SHAKESPEARE" as part of the David Henry Hwang / East West Player's New Works Festival on Sunday, July 1st at 7:00 PM at the historic David Henry Hwang Theater, 120 Judge John Aiso Street, Los Angeles CA 90017. FREE but suggest $5 Donation to support the great cause of DHHWI/EWP.

The play is about the discovery of a long-lost Shakespeare play that is the first and only play from the Bard to feature Asian characters. It is also a commentary on Hollywood, the conflict between Art and Money, The Rise of China in Media, the representation of Asian/Asian Americans in Media and Shakespeare.
