This laugh-out-loud comedy by the much celebrated Tony-Award winning playwright David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfl y), merrily spews forth mutilated and mangled idioms, slang and pronunciations, against the backdrop of stranger-ina- strange-land tensions. Our protagonist, a naïve American business man, fi nds himself in China trying to sell a Communist Minister signs with proper English translations, all the while making his own blunders not only in language, but in cultural etiquette, sex, and in searching for the best guanxi!
