A powerful, provocative play about international relations and the shifting balance of power between East and West.
Tiananmen Square, 1989. As tanks roll through Beijing and soldiers hammer on his hotel door, Joe – a young American photojournalist – captures a piece of history.
New York, 2012. Joe is covering a presidential election, marred by debate over cheap labor and the outsourcing of American jobs to Chinese factories. When a cryptic message is left in a Beijing newspaper, Joe is driven to discover the truth behind the unknown hero he captured on film. Who was he? What happened to him? And could he still be alive?
A gripping political examination and an engaging personal drama, Chimerica examines the changing fortunes of two countries whose futures will shape the whole world.

Chimerica Lucy Kirkwood Books
"Chimerica" is a thoughtful and original play about the aftermath of Tiananmen Square and the uncomfortable relationship between the U.S. and China since that time. Through the ambivalence of its characters, Kirkwood examines the compromises that Americans have made as China has grown in power and as a trading partner even as it continues to oppress its people and stifle dissent. She also looks at what it means to be a hero, and whether those dubbed heroes by society have a right to anonymity, or whether, through their actions, they become public properties.Product details

A new play that I hope premieres in the US soon - beautifully drawn characters, surprises, engaging from start to finish. This extremely compelling work needs to be seen, but reading it comes close. Inspiring and inspired. Beautiful.
