Publisher's Synopsis

Daniel, an American, wants to open up China for his business. There are only three things standing in his way: he can't speak the language, he can't learn the customs, and he's falling in love with the one woman he can't have.

David Henry Hwang's Chinglish is a hilarious comedy about the misadventures of miscommunication, exploring the modern difficulty of doing business between East and West. It was premiered at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, in 2011, and transferred to Broadway later that year.

It was first performed in the UK at Park Theatre, London, in 2017.
