columbia university
a new play
exploring the complexity and relationship between chinese americans and native chinese nationals.
”There are always some history lessons that we can never learn from school, so we learn them from our families. SPEAKING AS THEN is a play about how people are affected by the history, how history is passed to the next generation. And of course, it’s a play about family.” -Ruoxin Xu, March 16, 2018
