Alex Lin joins the podcast to talk all about the first of her two Off-Broadway plays this season, Laowang: A Chinatown King Lear. She shares how one great actor spurred the creation of a lead role, what it mean to take Shakespeare's tragedy as a jumping-off point, and why she chose to have several scenes performed in untranslated Cantonese. Don't miss this conversation with a playwright kicking off a two-show debut season!
Laowang: A Chinatown King Lear is a production of Primary Stages running at 59E59 through December 14th. For more information, visit www.59e59.org.
