LETTERS TO
A STUDENT
REVOLUTIONARY traces the decade-long correspondence and friendship
between two pen-pals -- one Chinese, the other Chinese American --
which ended abruptly with the Massacre. This bittersweet tale seeks to
make sense of history, how we participate in it and how we are
overwhelmed by it. By focusing on the loves and losses, desires and
disappointments, the play explores ideas of capitalism and communism,
and ultimately becomes a call to remember the price of democracy.
