THE CHINESE LADY
by Lloyd Suh directed by Ralph B. Peña
a co-production of Ma-Yi Theater Company and Barrington Stage Company
STARRING
Daniel K. Isaac — as Atung
Shannon Tyo — as Afong Moy
Inspired by the true story of the first Chinese female to step foot in America, THE CHINESE LADY is a tale of dark poetic whimsy and a unique portrait of the United States as seen through the eyes of a young Chinese woman. In 1834, Afong Moy is brought from China to America and put on display as THE CHINESE LADY for a paying public hungry for the exotic mysteries of the East.
But who is looking at whom?
THE CHINESE LADY, written by Lloyd Suh (The Wong Kids in the Secret of the Space Chupacabra Go!), directed by Ralph B. Peña (Among The Dead), and starring Shannon Tyo (Bright Half Life), and Daniel K. Isaac (The Gentleman Caller), is inspired by the true story of America’s first female Chinese immigrant.
