David Henry Hwang BIO

David Henry Hwang is a Tony Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and librettist. Born in Los Angeles, California in 1957, Hwang grew up in a Chinese American household and attended Stanford University where he earned a degree in English.
Hwang's breakthrough came in 1988 with his play "M. Butterfly," which won the Tony Award for Best Play and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. The play is based on the true story of a French diplomat who carried on a 20-year affair with a Chinese opera singer, only to discover that she was actually a man. "M. Butterfly" explores themes of gender, sexuality, and cultural identity, and has been produced in numerous languages and countries around the world.
In addition to "M. Butterfly," Hwang has written a number of other critically acclaimed plays, including "Golden Child," "Chinglish," and "Yellow Face." His work often explores the complexities of Asian American identity and the intersection of different cultures.
Hwang has also had success in film and television. He wrote the screenplay for the 1993 film "Golden Gate," which starred Matt Dillon and Joan Chen, and he co-wrote the screenplay for the 1998 Disney animated film "Mulan." He has also written for television shows such as "The Affair" and "The Strain."
In addition to his work as a playwright and screenwriter, Hwang has also contributed to the world of opera. He wrote the libretto for the opera "The Silver River," which premiered in 1997, and he wrote the book for the Broadway musical "Aida," which won four Tony Awards in 2000.
Hwang's contributions to the world of theater have been recognized with numerous awards and honors. In addition to his Tony Award for "M. Butterfly," he has received three Obie Awards, a Drama Desk Award, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He was also inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 2014.
In recent years, Hwang has continued to be a prominent voice in the theater world. In 2017, he wrote the play "Soft Power," which premiered at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. The play is a satirical look at American politics and culture, and explores the idea of soft power, or the ability to influence others through attraction and persuasion rather than coercion.
Hwang has also been an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the arts. In 2016, he was appointed as the Chair of the American Theatre Wing, the organization responsible for the Tony Awards. In this role, he has worked to promote diversity and equity in the theater industry.
Overall, David Henry Hwang is a prolific and influential figure in the world of theater, film, and television. His work has explored important themes and issues related to identity, culture, and politics, and has helped to pave the way for other Asian American artists in the industry.
