"A portrait of Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang, who brought "M Butterfly" to Broadway. Although his work isn't exclusively about being Asian-American, it's a theme he returns to often. His latest effort is a contemporary version of the old Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, "Flower Drum Song.""@en
"Identity is something that matters deeply to David Henry Hwang, the Tony Award-winning playwright who brought "M Butterfly" to Broadway. His work isn't exclusively about being Asian-American, but it's a theme he returns to often. His latest effort has just opened on Broadway, a contemporary version of the old Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, "Flower Drum Song." It's a story about the Chinese-American experience and the clash of cultures, something ABC NEWS Correspondent John Yang, who sat down with Hwang, has given some thought to."@en
