Journey where few Westerners ever go. . . the fascinating world of Chinese opera. Experience its startling sights and sounds. With breathtaking simplicity, an exciting new playwright evokes that ancient spectacle. Three main characters circle each other, in a battle of wits that slowly reveals a powerful tragedy. For there is more to their relationship than meets the eye. And there is more to this deceptively simple play. . . a personal story that opens up to reveal the ideological wounds of a great nation, and a whole era.
