COMRADES

Full-length Play

Exploring themes of identity, cultural displacement, and the universal need for connection and feeling “at home” in the world, COMRADES follows Don, a queer Chinese American man, who moves to China to reconnect with his roots.

An unexpected reunion with a college acquaintance leads Don to discover that true belonging comes not from a specific place but through self-acceptance and with those who will embrace him wholly.
