M. Butterfly flies again

Harry Mok - August 21, 2006

If you're in Silicon Valley or the Bay Area, this run is a good chance to see Hwang's signature work. It's a play that twists the classic Puccini opera Madama Butterfly and takes all the stereotypes about Asians, Asian sexuality and Orientalism and turns them on their heads.

The Theatreworks [1] production begins previews Wednesday at the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts.
