David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly is a captivating drama that subverts Puccini's Madame Butterfly through the true story of a French diplomat's 20-year affair with a Chinese opera singer. As cultural and personal identities blur, the play challenges our assumptions about love, power, and deception. With its clever twists and poignant humor, M. Butterfly is a thought-provoking exploration of desire, illusion, and the complexities of human connection.
Join fellow alumni from the Northern California Stanford Black Alumni Association, the Sacramento Stanford Alumni Association, and the Stanford Asian Pacific American Alumni Club for an entertaining afternoon at the San Francisco Playhouse. Immediately following the production, there will be a virtual talkback with the playwright, David Henry Hwang, Stanford '79.
