OC Theatre Guild previews The Chinese Lady.
“At once moving and sharply funny, this play traces her life on display, inviting audiences to witness history not as it’s traditionally told, but as it is felt—through the eyes of a woman objectified, exoticized, and overlooked.”
“This story is equal parts heartbreaking, humorous, and haunting. It’s about identity, survival, and what it means to be seen— not as a symbol or stereotype, but as a full, complex human being.”
“Although it’s set in the 19th century, ‘The Chinese Lady’ resonates powerfully today. Moy’s struggle to define herself in a society determined to define her first will feel deeply familiar to anyone who has ever been stereotyped, silenced, or asked to perform their identity for someone else’s understanding.”
“This production is a clear extension of the theatre’s mission to elevate voices that have too often been erased from the historical record.”
“It’s a history lesson. It’s a mirror. It’s a love letter.”
