Thinking of YU is a play about one woman’s fixation with Yu Dongyue, a young
Chinese journalist who was imprisoned for 17 years for having thrown paint on a
poster of Mao during the Tiananmen Square student protests. Her obsessive
research is interrupted by a lonely single father who mistakenly received her
mail and a young Chinese woman who desperately wants to perfect her English
grammar. Their unexpected companionship prompts each of them to question the
consequences of fighting against injustice. Each comes to grips with their
relationship to the world as they wrestle with notions of bravery, change and
hope.
