Joy Luck Club
A drama by Susan Kim adapted from the novel by Amy Tan
Manoa Valley Theatre, November 26–December 12, 2021
The Joy Luck Club tells the story of four older Chinese American women and their complex relationships with their American-born daughters. The play moves from China in the early twentieth century and San Francisco from the 1950s to the 1980s, as the eight women struggle to reach across a seemingly unpassable chasm of culture, generation and expectations to find strength and happiness.
“The Joy Luck Club is a tender story that speaks to the American experience of adjusting to a new life while carrying the wounds from an old one.” —StageRaw
