A LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN

by Chay Yew

Richard Hugo House
April 20 - May 12, 2012

From one of America's most prominent Asian playwrights comes this poignant and provocative gay masterpiece, A LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN, the lyrical modern classic about men in love. Don't miss this wonderfully simple yet beautifully complex exploration of the nature of desire, sexuality, stereotypes and self-definition through the relationships of the four gay characters, three Asian and one Caucasian.

In every relationship, a new language is forged... If you've ever loved, lost, and loved again, you're sure to be touched by this poetic play!

"The show succeeds in telling a lovely story in a difficult way." --BroadwayWorld.com

"A tough-minded—yet softhearted, chamber-quartet bulletin from the contemporary romantic front...most intriguing...fluid, witty" --Seattle Times

"A seamless work...notable for the way Chay Yew offers up tender matters of the heart in strikingly universal themes. For those who care to listen, A LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN easily crosses many prejudicial barriers of race and sexuality." --The Star-Ledger

"A LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN is not written so much as it is sculpted, with the supple precision and blistered fingers of a real artist." --NY Newsday

Seating is limited...Order your tickets to this very special presentation today!

WARNING: A LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN contains strong language, explicit adult themes and sexual situations.
