I really loved this play. The structure is interesting and the speeches well written. The plot itself is fascinating, and the relationships between the characters are deep and unusual. To quote the playwright's notes and the New York Times, May 11, 1986: "A former French diplomat and a Chinese opera singer have been sentenced to six years in jail for spying for China after a two-day trial that traced a story of clandestine love and mistaken sexual identity.... Mr. Bouriscot was accused of passing information to China after he fell in love with a Mr. Shi, whom he believed for twenty years to be a woman". 3 women playing various roles with the exception of 1, and 7 men also playing various roles with the exception of 2. Suggested by true events but emphatically stated that the play itself is not a factual representation of true events.
