Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Later Printing Used. <b><b>Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and s</b>oon to be back on Broadway in a revival directed by the <i>Lion King</i>'s Julie Taymor, starring Clive Owen </b><br /><br />"A brilliant play of ideas. a visionary work that bridges the history and culture of two worlds."--<b>Frank Rich, <i>New York Times</i></b>Based on a true story that stunned the world, and inspired by Giacomo Puccini's opera <i>Madama Butterfly</i>, <i>M. Butterfly </i>was an immediate sensation when it premiered in 1988. It opens in the cramped prison cell where diplomat Rene Gallimard is being held captive by the French government--and by his own illusions. He recalls a time when Song Liling, the beautiful Chinese diva, touched him with a love as vivid, as seductive--and as elusive--as a butterfly.<br /><br />How could he have known that his true love was, in fact, a spy for the Chinese government--and a man disguised as a woman? The diplomat relives the twenty-year affair from the temptation to the seduction, from its consummation to the scandal that ultimately consumed them both.<br /><br /><i>M. Butterfly </i>is one of the most compelling, explosive, and slyly humorous dramas ever to light the Broadway stage, a work of unrivaled brilliance, illuminating the conflict between men and women, the differences between East and West, racial stereotypes--and the shadows we cast around our most cherished illusions.<br /><br /><br /><br />The original cast included John Lithgow as Gallimard and BD Wong as Song Liling. During the show's 777-performance run, David Dukes, Anthony Hopkins, Tony Randall, and John Rubinstein were also cast as Gallimard. Hwang adapted the play for a 1993 film directed by David Cronenberg, starring Jeremy Irons and John Lone.<br /><br /><b>TEXT OF THE BROADWAY <b>REVIVAL</b></b> Seller Inventory # DADAX0822207125
