A couple of nights ago, we saw Chinglish, a new play about translations and how they can often be turned into whole different phrases. I imagine it's very close to my father's experiences while on business in China. It was very entertaining, most of the show actually being in Mandarin with English subtitles. Very early on in the play, you see how Chinese translations are VERY different from English counterpoints.
We sat in the orchestra....row H off to the right. The seats were PERFECT. I had no trouble seeing any of the actors' faces. The set was AMAZING! It revolved, having 2 sides that switched. The pieces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
It's closing already (one week left) and definitely has its weak points, but I think someone like my dad would like it. It was also nice to see so many Asians at the theater....(you get the same audience at Miss Saigon)
