Chinglish Tickets

Chinglish Play Tickets

Take a journey back through time to a period when cultures clashed after you buy Chinglish tickets. The play was originally written by playwright David Henry Hwang and premiered in 2011 at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, Ill. The story centers around an American businessman who takes a trip to China to sign a contract for his family’s firm. However, he soon finds out that signing a lucrative contract is made much more difficult when language, mannerisms, and customs get in the way. The play is set during a critical period in history when China and America first become interested in each other but hardly know about each other's culture. 

The idea for the play came when Hwang first visited China and noticed the changes that had taken place over the past six years. Despite everything being new, the English translation signs were not too accurate. Those who are interested in the dynamics between two cultures on separate sides of the world should consider getting Chinglish tickets while they are currently on sale. Upon its release, it earned several awards and accolades. Among others, it was nominated for five Joseph Jefferson Awards and three Drama Desk Awards, including one for Outstanding Play and one for Outstanding Set Design.
