LETTERS TO A STUDENT
REVOLUTIONARY
A Play by Elizabeth
Wong
Directed by Peter J.
Kuo
A Special ONE
WEEKEND ONLY Benefit Performance to Commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the 1989
Tiananmen Massacre
Poignantly moving and at times
disarmingly funny, LETTERS TO A STUDENT REVOLUTIONARY traces
the decade-long correspondence and search for true democracy between two
pen-pals--one Chinese, the other Chinese American--which ends abruptly with the
1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.First staged in 1991, this is the first play in
the United Stated to respond to the tragic historical
event.
