Cockroach (曱甴)

Bag om Cockroach (曱甴)

You can call him Cockroach, or Roach for short. He's a catnip-smoking city slicker living in the dark corners behind the toilet. After diving into the diaper of a Chinese baby, Cockroach watches the boy grow up to lose his sense of identity. Understanding what it means to live in a world not built for outsiders, he attempts to help the boy reclaim his culture. But when the Bard himself makes a surprise appearance in hopes of influencing the boy with the "superior" English language, Cockroach finds himself caught in a collision of linguistics, longing, and lobsters (who sometimes burp).A unique exploration of xenophobia and the dangers of language erosion, cockroach (曱甴) is a coming-of-age play about the stories we tell ourselves to comfort, to survive, to resist, to overcome, and to be.
