NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HONG KONG, CHINA (December 1, 2022) - Award-winning writer/director/producer Tom Cavanaugh’s full-length stage play, ADAM & YOSHI will World Premiere with the Wedraman Theatre Company of Hong Kong. A ninety-minute comedy is a full-length drama. The play features a young successful comic book writer who is getting over a divorce and falling deeper in love with Yoshi, a woman who dresses as a superhero and claims to be from another planet. Adam bears with his unhappy home and career, but he learns from Yoshi how to envision a different reality for himself until she reveals her real intention at the end of the play. Themes of masking, unmasking, complacency, and bravery are interwoven as Adam’s alpha-male persona morphs before our eyes into the role of a victim in a “catfish” like scam. The Wedraman Theatre Troupe of Hong Kong has been creating theatre in China for nearly thirty years. http://www.wedraman.com
