April 29-May 22 Tea Written by Velina Hasu Houston
Five
Japanese war brides are thrust into rural Kansas alongside their American GI
husbands. Their fate in their adopted land is the heart of ÒTea,Ó an
insightful, lyrical and autobiographical play. Their deeply moving and
previously untold stories come to life with thoughtfulness and humor as the
women gather together over tea in 1968 to share the poignant drama of their
courtship, their arrival in America, their early mistakes with American customs
and their growing American families.

May 1-22 A Distant Shore By Chay Yew Directed by Robert Egan World
Premiere
In the stifling jungles of Southeast Asia, two lives are forever
entwined, destined to play out life rituals while constrained by culture and
colonialism. We first see a pair in the 1920's, a place of rubber
plantations and rebel insurgencies, and another 80 years later in the same
city, now independent and metropolitan. Are these lovers destined to repeat
their histories or will they break the cycle this time around? Love seems to be
the only constant. An erotic and poetic play about globalism, fate and passion.
Chay Yew is director of the Mark Taper ForumÕs Asian Theatre
Workshop. His many plays include the adaptation of Federico Garc’a
LorcaÕs The House of Bernarda Alba (Mark Taper Forum, 2002). Kirk Douglas Theatre, 9820 Washington
Blvd., Culver City, $19-40, 213-628-2772
