Sand on a Distant Star by Stan Lai
Translated by Stan Lai with assistance by Tian Hongyi

Part three of our New China Festival, a collection of staged readings that highlight the work of contemporary playwrights from the Chinese speaking world. Stylistically and aesthetically diverse, the featured plays examine a Chinese society rife with tensions between tradition and accelerating change, consumerism and communism, and authoritarianism and personal freedom.
