Orange County Register previews The Chinese Lady.

“The timely production reminds us that ‘change can occur’ by wanting to understand someone.”

“For all the Very Big Ideas that “The Chinese Lady” makes one ponder (racism, sexism, immigration, exploitation, xenophobia et al), it’s important to remember one crucial detail: It’s very funny.”

“She is trying against all odds to define who she is in a place that is not readily wanting to understand.”

“What I’m drawn to is her perseverance… this internal light that just will not go out.”

“It’s a funny (bleeping) play! It’s a really good time.”

“We all want to understand others, and be understood… In this show, Afong reclaims her history, reclaims her voice.”

“Keep these histories in mind as you encounter the story of ‘The Chinese Lady’ in today’s world.”
