Synopses & Reviews
Intercultural issues in North America's new West are reflected in these three plays with humor, wit, and at times, heartbreak. Elephant Wake by Joey Tremblay and Jonathon Christenson introduces us to the village idiot of a hamlet recounting the history of his community's vanishing. An East Indian student in a university co-op battles with his ghostly parents about arranging marriages for his sisters in India in the House of Sacred Cows by Padma Viswanathan. Exploding between scenes of reality and a Chinese B-movie, a young man's relationship with a "white girl" is unhinged when he tells his Chinese parents about her in More, Dad, I'm Living With A White Girl by Marty Chan.
