The Empress of China Now Playing at Theatre for a New City Thru June 25
By: Gabrielle Sierra
Joanna Chan's The Empress of China is based on the arrival of the first American trading vessel in China in 1784. Aboard was the historical figure Samuel Shaw, a Revolutionary War officer. Chan creates a relationship between Shaw and Purple Lotus, a fictional character who captures the American's heart. Through their relationship the play explores the profound differences in the way the central characters and their two societies view the world and their places in it.
