THINKING OF YU By Carole Fréchette

Translation by John Murrell Directed by Micheline Chevrier

April 24 – May 5, 2013

Thinking of YU is a play about one woman’s fixation with Yu Dongyue, a young Chinese journalist who was imprisoned for 17 years for having thrown paint on a poster of Mao during the Tiananmen Square student protests. Her obsessive research is interrupted by a lonely single father who mistakenly received her mail and a young Chinese woman who desperately wants to perfect her English grammar. Their unexpected companionship prompts each of them to question the consequences of fighting against injustice. They each come to grips with their relationship to the world as they wrestle with the notions of bravery, change and hope.
