JANM is pleased to host the East West Players’ reading of Cocks Crow by Alice Tuan, directed by Jennifer Chang.

Cocks Crow is what happens when Americans try to do business with China: is it a bad internet connection or are we being surveilled? Compelled by ambition, anxiety, and diminishing options at home, two Americans, Bill Peck and Shelly Larkin, pursue wealth on capitalism’s wild new frontier.

At Yankee Doodle Do, an American diner in Shanghai, they find Agnes Deng is “representing” Han Jia Wei, the elusive Chinese bureaucrat they are trying to cut a deal with. The character Rafael Chan then enters into the mix to activate and derail this play about superpower deflation in the new century.

The reading is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are recommended using the link below.
