Direct from its sold-out run at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre, Chinglish has made its way to Broadway. (Translation: Get your tickets fast – this one’s going to be hot!) Tony Award® winner David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) returns to Broadway with CHINGLISH, a new comedy about the misadventures of miscommunication.
Directed by OBIE Award winner Leigh Silverman (From Up Here, Well) Chinglish is the story of an American businessman desperate to launch a new enterprise in China. There are only three things standing in his way: He can’t speak the language. He can’t learn the customs. And he’s falling in love with the one woman he absolutely can’t have.
Chinglish is the hilarious new play where most everything gets lost in translation.
“Four stars! The Chinese tiger roars, American business trembles. David Henry Hwang’s best work since ‘M. Butterfly.’” – Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“Chinglish has characters, not clichés – the Chinese aren’t worker bees, the American isn’t an arrogant idiot.” – Neil Steinberg, Chicago Sun Times
“Splendidly savvy! It’s like the ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ of American theater.” – Steven Oxman, Variety
“One of the funniest plays in memory. I haven’t heard an audience laugh this much in years.” – Neil Steinberg, Chicago Sun-Times
Do You Know What I Mean? Probably Not (NY Times)
David Henry Hwang’s new play, Chinglish, explores the language and cultural gaps between Chinese and Americans.
