Japanglish in Vancouver | January 19, 20, 28, 29 & 30
By Angela Jung
I simply love watching live theatre! Today, I'd like to share with you an upcoming play called Japanglish by Yumi Ogawa.
Yumi is an alumnus of Vancouver's sketch comedy troupe, Assaulted Fish. I've actually met them, watched their skits and they are excessively hilarious and clever. Now I'm even more excited to see Yumi's one-woman show, Japanglish!
Yumi Ogawa dares to explore her autobiographical tale of a unique parent/daughter relationship. She has difficulty speaking Japanese as her parents struggle with English. One house, two languages, two continents, two cultures, two sides desperately trying to reach the other. A story that bravely goes into the humour and heart of a first generation Canadian family. (From Star 9 Productions)
She's performed this play at the Victoria Fringe Festival and the audience loved it! If you don't believe me, read the reviews at plankmagazine.com and thecultch.com.
"Rich with comedic culture clashes, but wise with emotional sincerely, Japanglish is a good pairing of strong script and strong performer."
--John Threlfall, Monday Magazine
