About
Hello! I am an English and Theatre major entering my junior year at William & Mary while pursuing an unofficial Chinese minor on the side. During the summer of 2008, I fulfilled a year’s worth of planning and traveled to China to research the transnational differences in localized Chinese Shakespeare productions.
This blog might be of interest to you if you’re curious about Shakespeare, performance studies, Chinese language, cultural identity, or if you’d just like to hear some amusing stories about navigating the unique cultural and political differences in China. I promise tales of adventure (zip lining over the Great Wall, precariously entering a Communist controlled library) and stories of awkward misunderstandings (avoiding audience participation in a Cantonese street theatre, contemplating how to eat a mysterious dish in a posh tea house).
