New Works on East West Players’ Lineup
East West Players will premiere its first South Asian-themed play, Sujata G. Bhatt’s “Queen of the Remote Control,” as part of its 2002-03 season.
The play, about a family of affluent Indian immigrants in Calabasas, is slated for Sept. 11 to Oct. 6 at the company’s home in the David Henry Hwang Theater in downtown Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo.
East West’s 2002-03 season will continue with a new, eight-actor, Asian-influenced adaptation of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” written and directed by Andrew Tsao (Nov. 20 to Dec. 15), who also staged “The Tempest” in 1997 at the Watercourt at downtown’s California Plaza for Shakespeare Festival/LA.
The rest of the season includes “Little Shop of Horrors” (Feb. 5 to March 2), staged by Glen Chin, and the premiere of Betty Tokudani’s L.A.-set “The Nisei Widows Club” (May 14 to June 8), directed by the company’s artistic director Tim Dang.
