Cowboy versus Samurai

Presented by Diwa Theater Company - 2009 Out of the Loop Festival

Description

Travis Park is a high school English teacher and the only Korean American man living in a dusty cowboy town known as Breakneck, Wyoming.

And when a gorgeous, whip-smart Asian American woman moves into town, he immediately falls for her; the only problem is that she only dates white men.

In this savagely funny and often moving comic re-telling of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, one man must choose allegiance between his cowboy friend (a dim, handsome, Caucasian P.E. teacher named Del) and his Asian Brother-with-a-Capital-B (crazed, militant Asian of Unknown Origin, Chester). He must choose between the Asian American and the American within himself – between Cowboy versus Samurai – in a pursuit of a love that may only be as real as the love letters he writes for someone else.
