You Mean To Do Me Harm, by Christopher Chen (San Francisco, CA)

An innocuous comment at a dinner of two interracial couples leads to a surreal escalation of Cold War-style paranoia. You Mean to Do Me Harm is a psychological exploration of Chinese and American foreign relations, and of the personal relations we hold most dear. Originally produced as part of last season’s Sandbox series, this captivating new play closely examines the different perceptions we operate under and the difficulty of setting our own boundaries.
