Kyle Chua's DOWNTOWN

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre presents DOWNTOWN by Kyle Chua (CFA’18) | Directed by Michael Hammond | Part of the 21st Annual BU Fringe Festival | Al’s debut novel, about his unrequited affections for a man named Ben, was shaped to provoke and sell. Almost instantly, it becomes a critically-acclaimed bestseller. But when Ben turns up at one of Al’s literary events bearing threats of a lawsuit, both men are forced to examine the reasons that brought them together, and the circumstances that pulled them apart. Alternating between past and present, Downtown is a puzzle of fact and fiction, an exploration of the intersections of race, nationality, and queerness. A BU New Play Initiative production.| Approximate running time: 90 minutes $7 General Admission | $3.50 with CFA Membership | Free with BU ID, at the door, day of performance, subject to availability
