More than sword-crossing in linguistic faux pas, Chinglish is the work of David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) at its most cross-culturally fluent, if grammatically incorrect. The New York based Tony Award-winning playwright has concocted this romantic, sexy comedy in which an American businessman looking to score a lucrative contract in the Mainland meets and falls for a government official. In the midst of hilarious mistranslations, he finds himself caught in the turmoil of power, love and money. Will he be lost in translation?
