Bay Area theater fans... the Asian American Theater Company presents Michael Golamco's Cowboy vs. Samurai, now running through July 22nd at the Thick House in San Francisco. It's "no holds barred romantic comedy" that re-imagines the "Cyrano de Bergerac" story with an Asian twist:
The lives of the only two Asian Americans in the tiny western hamlet of Breakneck, Wyoming are turned upside down when the beautiful Veronica Lee, a Korean American teacher from New York City moves to town. Through irony, humor, and social commentary, "Cowboy vs. Samurai" cleverly exposes the struggle of Asian Americans to find their place in the vast American landscape...and with each otherSounds like a pretty good time. Though I have a feeling we don't actually get to see cowboys fighting samurai anywhere during the course of the show. Or do we? That would be awesome.
