THE STORY: CHINGLISH is a hilarious comedy about the challenges of doing business in a country whose language - and underlying cultural assumptions - can be worlds apart from those of the West. The play tells the adventures of Daniel, an American business-everyman from the Midwest, who hopes to establish his family's sign-making business in China, only to learn what is lost and found in translation.
"Fresh, energetic and unlike anything else. CHINGLISH is a thoughtful, funny and poignant piece in which, miraculously, nothing gets lost in translation." - Associated Press. "A witty study in modern-day miscommunication, that erupts into explosive laughter." - New Jersey Newsroom. "One of the year's ten best!" - Time Magazine. "A triumph in any language. CHINGLISH is sexy, fun and hilarious." - NY Magazine. "In Hwang's hilarious CHINGLISH, the Chinese lion roars, American business trembles. Surely Hwang's best work since
M. Butterfly. One of the best plays of 2011." - Chicago Tribune.
