East West Players presents the world premiere of “Unbroken Blossoms” by Philip W. Chung, directed by Jeff Liu, from June 27 to July 21 at the David Henry Hwang Theater, 120 N. Judge John Aiso St. in Little Tokyo.
An idealistic family man and a cynical, aspiring filmmaker are hired as the Chinese American consultants for “Broken Blossoms,” Hollywood’s first onscreen interracial love story… between a white actress and a white actor in yellowface makeup. If the circumstances weren’t already questionable enough, the consultants must contend with the outsized ego of the film’s director, D.W. Griffith, who is attempting to belie criticisms of racism after the release of his controversial film “The Birth of a Nation.”
Chung’s play is a historical reimagining of the making of a boundary-breaking Hollywood classic that shines a light on the collateral damage in the search for “authentic” representation, and asks what price we pay for our art.
Originally presented in 2015 by Visual Communications in partnership with East West Players.
