M. Butterfly. By: David Henry Hwang






A stunning piece of writing.  This play touches upon, racism, sexism, gender identity, fantasy, imperialism/colonialism-it leaves no stone unturned.  Rene and Song are richly drawn-and the structure of the piece is beautifully rendered.  I'm now curious to read the original 1988 script to see what the updates are.
