The Three of Cups
3 m approximate running time 1 hour 30 minutes
My first play in English, written when I was an undergraduate at the University of Kansas, under the mentorship of Paul Stephen Lim, my first playwriting teacher. Paul put together a reading of this play at KU - the first time I heard my words spoken by actors. It was also produced at the university stage.

A love triangle between three gay college men, told through a structure that “peels, again and again, down through flesh and self-deceptions right to the nut. The story is told with many layers of present and past on top of one another, scenes briefly acted out, and different interpretations of and reactions to the same events presented.” (Boston Globe.)
It was an inventive play when I wrote it. I feel it’s still one of my most inpired works.
