The Chinese Wall at Lonny Chapman Group Repertory Theatre

Swiss playwright, Frisch, wrote this play in 1946, yet its satire and theatricality make an astounding comment on today's seemingly farcical political arena. What sort of emperor would delight in the completion of a protective wall (The Great Wall of China) that could reach New York or Berlin? Part tragedy, comedy, history, farce and satire, this wildly unpredictable theatrical event knows no bounds as it blends well-known characters from literature with real-life historical people and places them all together on an ethereal stage that rivals and parallels today's headlines. Catch this rich, witty and wry look at history and "time" itself when The Chinese Wall takes to the stage of the Lonny Chapman Theatre in Los Angeles.
