RED Reading
Description
MediaRites/Theatre Diaspora in association with Portland Center Stage presents a staged reading of
Red by Chay Yew.
Sonja Wong Pickford, a bestselling ethnic romance writer suffering from creative malaise, travels to Shanghai to seek inspiration. In an old theater, she meets HuaWaiMun, a star performer of Chinese opera, and Ling, a teenaged Red Guard, who are caught up in the Cultural Revolution. While Sonja investigates to uncover the truth about them, all three become embroiled in clashes over artistic purpose, political power, and changing values. As the conflicts play out, decisions made from good intentions produce unexpected, far-reaching consequences.
