OUTSIDE PEOPLE

Written by Zayd Dohrn
Directed by Evan Cabnet
With Matt Dellapina, Nelson Lee, Li Jun Li, Sonequa Martin-Green

Set among an international crowd in modern-day Beijing, this fascinating, darkly comic new play OUTSIDE PEOPLE, is the story of a young American man, Malcolm, who falls in love with a young Chinese woman, Xiao Mei.  But as his eyes open to the subtle social, political and economic forces that inform their relationship, he must confront his complex place in this foreign culture, the friendship that brought him there, and his own deepest fears and desires.
