A DEAL by Zhu Yi, developed as part of "New Text - New Stage", an Ibsen International project for the development of new writing.
After its excerpt was staged at Hålogaland Teater, Norway, the play made its controversial debut off-Broadway in 2017,
defying the odds to win international acclaim - and multiple awards. Its subsequent Mandarin version was at the Jiangnan Theatre, China.
Directed by Chinese-born director Shiya Lu for her fledgling Flying House Assembly theatre company (with support from the University of Sydney), it stars Abigail Coffey, Paul Chambers, Edric Hong, Suzanne James, Simon Lee, Katherine Nheu, Sally Williams, Susan Young and Shi-Kai Zhang. Design by Victor Kalka, sound design by Luna Y. Pan, stage manager Alex Liang, production crew Amy Sole, Simone Wang and Oliver Walton.
Zhu Yi is a New York-based playwright and screenwriter, born and raised in Shanghai, China. She received the First Prize at 2015 World Sinophone Drama Competition,
and Shanghai Drama Valley's 2015 Outstanding Playwright of the Year Award. She is a 2012-2013 Emerging Artist Fellow at New York Theatre Workshop, Youngblood alumnus at Ensemble Studio Theatre, a member of Ma-Yi Writers' Lab and The Royal Court Theatre International Playwrights Programme.
