Losing Face
by Nathan Joe (NZ)
"It's about a man who goes to Paris and falls for another man there. But he can't really deal with his feelings. It's a sad love story. I don't want to spoil it for you. Do you read much?"
A love story grappling with race, gender and fatherhood, Nathan Joe's first play is a hard emotional hitter asking if love really transcends all. Stereotyped roles are challenged as an older white male and a young Chinese immigrant fall for one another.
