Golden Child
Creating his most personal and emotional work to date, David Henry Hwang draws on the true stories told to him by his grandmother of his great-grandfather's break with Confucian tradition by his conversion to Christianity, and the eventual unbinding of his daughter's feet. Golden Child explores the impact of these decisions on each of his great-grandfather's three wives, and succeeding generations.

Praise for this book
"There is a quiet, though highly theatrical, intelligence at work in Golden Child...A play composed of many small moments of grace, which are not often seen on our stages." -Vincent Canby, New York Times
"Golden Child re-establishes David Henry Hwang as a major playwright." -David Patrick Stearns, USA Today
"A wonderfully provocative play, showing a family torn apart and a civilization in flux. Polished and truly rewarding-Hwang's most sophisticated play so far." -Clive Barnes, New York Post
"An engaging, deeply intelligent meditation on the rewards and bitter costs of freedom and individuality." -Mark Harris, Entertainment Weekly
"Full of inventive devices...Golden Child emerges as a skillfully-told story that engages the emotions as well as the brain." -Greg Jameson, Entertainment Focus, October 2013
