Don't call it a debate. Call it, a cautious friendship.
Two young women -- one from the USA and the other from
China -- duke out their loves, lives and emerging ideologies
in this disarmingly funny coming-of-age epistolary smackdown.
An award-winning play based on actual events, directed
by the playwright who lived it.
