M. Butterfly flies again
A revival of David Henry Hwang's acclaimed play, M. Butterfly, opens Wednesday in Mountain View, CA.
If you're in Silicon Valley or the Bay Area, this run is a good chance to see Hwang's signature work. It's a play that twists the classic Puccini opera Madama Butterfly and takes all the stereotypes about Asians, Asian sexuality and Orientalism and turns them on their heads.
The Theatreworks production begins previews Wednesday at the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts.
