Notes: | Adapted from Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac By Michael Golamco | |||||
| A laugh-out-loud, romantic comedy exploring the sexual dynamics that surface around race when an attractive Korean American woman moves to town. The play is a politically edgy examination of inter-racial dating and identity through irony, humor, and social commentary. Travis Park is a high school English teacher and the only Korean American man living in a dusty cowboy town known as Breakneck, Wyoming. When a gorgeous, whip-smart Asian American woman moves into town, he immediately falls for her; the only problem is that she only dates white men. In this savagely funny and often moving comic re-telling of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano De Bergerac, one man must choose allegiance between his cowboy friend (a dim, handsome, Caucasian P.E. teacher named Del) and his Asian Brother-with-a-Capital-B (crazed, militant Asian of Unknown Origin, Chester). He must choose between the Asian American and the American within himself - between Cowboy Vs. Samurai - in a pursuit of a love that may only be as real as the love letters he writes for someone else. | |||||

Synopsis: | Finding himself recently dead, 56 year-old Bernard Chan spends his afterlife watching the world go on without him. His eldest son Freddie is still working at the Copymat; his 19 year-old runaway daughter Caitlin has come home pregnant, father unknown. And his middle son Charlie is turning the family's Chinese restaurant Vietnamese -- a temple to his girlfriend, whose name also happens to be Charlie. Pho 69 is a new serio-comic play about building temples and tearing them down, and searching for a God who may likewise still be searching for us. It's a play about a silence that seems absolute, and a family whose silence must be broken. | |||||
