David Henry Hwang’s deeply moving, textually rich drama 'Golden Child' arrived at the Longacre Theatre in 1998, capturing multiple major Tony Award nominations including Best Play following its hit international runs. Set in a wealthy provincial estate in southeastern China in 1918, the narrative chronicles the turbulent life and domestic fractures of the Eng clan, tracking a traditional merchant patriarch who returns home from a business voyage filled with progressive Western ideals and Christian strategies, collapsing into a tragic household warfare as he attempts to modernise his three fiercely competitive wives. Directed by James Lapine, the production starred Tsai Chin and Randall Duk Kim.
