The rise of China, the fall of America, cultural stereotyping, sexism, and a new world order - large themes come in small packages in this 80 minute two hander about Chinese business women and American businessmen doing battle at an international financial services company in Hong Kong and at a factory in Shenzhen, China, during the global financial crisis of 2008. An intentionally provocative portrait of the complex, divided, interdependent, and explosive relationship between these two giant nations. A tour de force opportunity for two actors, guaranteed to provoke and enrage, while entertaining and thrilling audiences with a play for, and of, our time.
