Witness the World Premiere of David Yee’s lady in the red dress

Playing at the elegant Young Centre for the Performing Arts, lady in the red dress is an exciting new play set against the backdrop of the Chinese-Canadian redress lawsuit.  A stylistic fusion of author Haruki Murakami and graphic novelist Frank Miller, it is the story of a lawyer without a conscience, a woman without a past, and vengeance for a cause that has been ignored too long. A darkly comic revenge story about the skeletons in our closets, and the consequences of our (in)actions.

In the tradition of Haruki Murakami & Frank Miller, lady in the red dress follows Max, a DOJ negotiator embroiled in a world of corruption and deceit.  Playwright David Yee (Fear of Flight, paper series) re-imagines the Chinese-Canadian struggle for redress as a modern day noir, chronicling Max’s nightmarish trip through the mean streets of Chinatown and the corridors of Justice. Part ghost story, part revenge play, lady in the red dress is a darkly comic story about the skeletons in our closets, and the consequences of our (in)actions.

Banana Boys is a smart, contemporary and wickedly funny play about five young Asian-Canadian men wrestling with issues of race, identity and the death of a friend. It is one story, fragmented into five and reconstructed throughout the course of their lives. Adapted from the novel by Terry Woo, Banana Boys is a “meditation for the restless” and a call to anyone who has felt out of place in the world.
