M. Butterfly

Runs April 17 - June 26, 2010 on the Wurtele Thrust Stage (Opens on April 23) French diplomat Rene Gallimard is dazzled by "the perfect woman," Song Liling (played by Randy Reyes), a performer in the Peking opera. Yet as he seeks to gain absolute power over her, he finds far more than the submissive leading lady he desired. Hailed by the New York Times as "a visionary work that bridges the history and culture of two worlds," this Tony Award-winning and Pulitzer-nominated play is a tour de force that traces lines of race, gender and power through love and deception. By David Henry Hwang. Directed by Peter ROTHSTEIN.
Venue: Wurtele Thrust
