“..a sharp and hilarious comedy about the challenges of communication across languages and culture. It’s about the struggle to connect as people, and the universal human desire to understand and be understood. The play follows an American businessman who’s desperately seeking to land a lucrative business deal in China’s booming economic market. After continuous misunderstandings, shady arrangements, and an affair with a secretive Chinese woman, he learns that there is much to be lost, and found, in translation.”
