Boston Playwrights' Theatre presents
The Recursion of a Moth
by Brandon Zang
Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at 7:00PM

Boston Playwrights' Theatre
949 Commonwealth Avenue
Boston, MA 02215


Icarus and Mikey time travel. Icarus and Mikey fall out of love. Icarus and Mikey eat egg drop soup. Somewhere else, sometime else, Crystal puts a raw chicken in the oven. The rules are: you can travel to any timeline as long as you don’t change anything. But of course, there’s always someone who thinks the rules don’t apply to them.

Pay-What-You-Want Previews for The Recursion of a Moth on Thursday, February 27 (7 p.m.) and Friday, February 28 (8 p.m.). 

Asian Joy Night—Sunday, March 2. Boston Playwrights' Theatre has partnered with CHUANG Stage on a special Asian Joy Night performance to The Recursion of a Moth by Brandon Zang, where all members of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities are encouraged to gather and celebrate Brandon Zang's second production in Boston, following Nüwa in Fairyland! All tickets for Asian Joy Night are Pay-As-You-Are with a minimum of $0.


On Sunday, March 2 at 1:15 p.m., come for a pre-show mixer to enjoy some egg drop soup provided by local Asian restaurants and to meet other members of the AAPI community before enjoying the performance of The Recursion of a Moth by Brandon Zang in the theater. Following the performance, join us for a post-show conversation, Writing Queer and Asian Futures, with writer Diana Cao (she/they), poet and cultural critic Aline Dolinh (she/her/hers), and poet Dorsey Schutt (he/him/his), moderated by Annaka Saari (she/her) and Alison Yueming Qu (she/they).
