Letters to a Student Revolutionary
3 Male, 3 Female
Elizabeth Wong Price: $8.25
This powerful and disarmingly funny play is about friendship
and political awakening
Bibi Lee is a typically jaded American rebel reluctantly on a “back to your roots” family vacation in China
Desperately, Bibi sets out to find fast food and familiar faces
Instead, she finds Karen, a young, idealistic Chinese girl who wants to practice a little English
From this seemingly innocent chance encounter, these two young women — one Chinese, the other Chinese-American — embark on a charming, poignant 10-year correspondence, cut abruptly and tragically short by the June 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre
This bittersweet tale seeks to make sense of history, how we participate in it and how we are overwhelmed by it
By focusing on the loves and losses, desires and disappointments
of Bibi and Karen, the play explores ideas of capitalism and
communism, and ultimately becomes a clarion call to remember
the price of democracy
