Written by Joyce Wu
Directed by Julianne Just

A white guy and an Asian girl make the most common and socially acceptable interracial pairing and yet Matt and Sophie, two yuppies about to get married, must contend with the ways in which race and ethnicity still matter to them in an era after political correctness.  Perpetually feeling like an outsider, Sophie fears that her fiancée's family will never accept her.  Matt, frustrated at her constant insecurity, has little sympathy.  When Matt helps his best friend Dion secure a job at the consulting firm where he works, his co-worker James assumes it is because Dion is black and has benefited from Affirmative Action quotas.  When he discovers that Matt has arranged it, he becomes resentful and begins to poison Matt against Dion.  Exploiting stereotypes that Matt, like most people, secretly harbors but would never admit to having, James begins to suggest that Sophie is cheating on him with Dion.

A contemporary twist on Othello, the play explores the ways in which people of color are exoticized and eroticized even by those who are closest to them.
