Contemporary Asian American Plays - Version 3

This major anthology of contemporary Asian American offers the following ...

Julia Cho's Durango

Sunil Kuruvilla's Rice Boy

Han Ong's Swoony Planet

Sung Rno's Wave

Diana Son's Boy

Alice Tuan's Last of the Suns

And Chay Yew's Question 27, Question 28

These are works that readily combine the Medea myth with wave-particle physics; that nimbly move between a field in Kitchener, Canada, and a treetop in Kerala, India; that fully explore complexities of gender, sexuality, and family, demonstrating the cultural and aesthetical diversity of the new generation

Also included is The Square, a choral piece by sixteen leading playwrights (including Maria Irene Fornes, Jessica Hagedorn, David Henry Hwang, Craig Lucas, José Rivera, and Mac Wellman) meditating on 120 years of relationships between non-Asian Americans and the Asian American community, set in a public square of an American city's Chinatown
