WHERE IS MY MAPLE TOWN, a play incubated by Shanghai Theatre Academy, will debut Off-Broadway in TheatreRow from August 24th through September 2nd. It tells a story of a good person in China who struggles to hold onto his principles in a society which conspires against morality at every turn. Li Yufeng, who has failed his exams despite his gifts as a scholar, gives into the temptation to cheat, which starts him down a treacherous path. This ancient Chinese drama is rich in humor, irony and social commentary, as it critiques how society changes a man into the sort of person he hates.
