FUCHOU WITH BOURBON Premieres at Hollywood Fringe
FUCHOU WITH BOURBON is a "little Hamlet" drama about Rose, a young Chinese-Caucasian American returning home for revenge on her white father. After all, didn't his philandering and drinking have an emotional hand in the death of her Chinese mother? Premieres at the Hollywood Fringe Festival on June 2nd at The Lounge Theatre- 6201 Santa Monica Blvd. LA 90038.
In this dramatic tale, Rose's younger sister, Lara, dismisses her theory as paranoia. So the two ride the bumpy cultural currents of Chinese and American traditions while clinging to the ties of sisterhood. Will Rose revenge her mother's death, or will the bonds of blood prevail?
