November 16 and 17, 2013; matinee performances: 2:30; evening performances: 7:30. Free for OSU students with valid BuckID.
Performances of Hong Shen's 洪深 English-language play The Wedded Husband, written while Hong was a student at OSU in the 1910s. Though her heart lies with another man, Miss Wang agrees to an arranged marriage with the feeble-minded Master Chen out of filial devotion to her father. But the life she knows changes in an instant when she suddenly falls ill with the plague on the day of the wedding ceremony. Will she survive and realize her womanly virtue? Or will a wedding quickly become a funeral?
