Banned in his native Singapore, Chay Yew has been hailed as "a
promising new voice in American theater" by Time magazine. With
these two powerful, provocative plays, Yew first brought his
startling and poetic voice to stages across America and abroad,
exploring the battlegrounds, both internal and external, where
matters of the heart conflict with barriers of race and sexuality.
Porcelain is an examination of a young man's crime of passion.
Triply scorned -- as an Asian, a homosexual, and now a murderer --
19-year-old John Lee has confessed to shooting his lover in a
public lavatory in London. A winner of the London Fringe Award for
Best Play, Porcelain dissects the crime through a prism of
conflicting voices: newscasts, flashbacks, and John's own
recollections to a prison psychiatrist. A Language of Their Own is
a lyrical and dramatic meditation on the nature of desire and
sexuality as four men -- three Asian and one white -- come together
and drift apart in a series of interconnected stories. A critical
and popular success at New York's Public Theater, it won both the
George and Elisabeth Marton Playwriting Award and the GLAAD Media
Award for Best Play.
