ABSTRACT

This play can be performed as a one-woman show or with a cast of an additional six silent characters, as follows:

MISS HARRINGTON, 20s, an actress MR. WONG, 50s, ANNA’S father MR. IRVING THALBERG, a movie producer MR. SAMUEL GOLDWYN, a movie producer THE INTERPRETER THE LIMOUSINE DRIVER These characters are on stage throughout, frozen as if they were dolls on

display. Their faces are white; the stage is white; the world is white. A movie soundstage. The year is 1940. ANNA, a slender Chinese-American

woman, 33, stands in a spotlight. Her pose is ethereal, dreamy. She speaks to an unseen actress.
