Rage Play (new title forthcoming)

    The Playwrights Foundation Bay Area literary council readers advanced Rage Play as a finalist for the 47th Bay Area Playwrights Festival.

    This script explores heavy and complex themes–the role of Asian Americans in entertainment, and the toll this takes on them–while still being an absolute joy to read. Reviewers specifically leaned into the structure and premise of this play, which we found smart and compelling.

    We hope that Rage Play is considered for further development and investigation.
