Tiananmen Annie
A one-person show about the writer's experience working as a production assitant with CNN during the Tiananmen protests
When:
June 2, 2014 12:00am to June 30, 2014 12:00am
Ann Starbuck stars in a true, one-woman show depicting the hilarious and heartbreaking tale of her year in China as she tries to find her Chinese soul and gets swept up in a revolution. She's at first a student, struggling to learn the customs as a young woman in a foreign land, but her reality is turned upside down when she is hired by CNN to be an interpreter during the Tiananmen Square Uprising. Ann tells the story of China on the brink of change from the voice of an old woman with bound feet to a heroic hunger striker. Today in China there is an entire generation in the dark about the events of June 4, 1989 - it is forbidden to discuss. With the current uprisings in Venezula & Kiev and harkening to the Arab Spring, TIANANMEN ANNIE is as poignant a story today as it was 25 years ago.
Running time: 75 minutes.
