InterAct Theatre Company presents 'Caught'

A Play by Christopher Chen, October 24 - November 16



Hey, Philly. InterAct Theatre Company is kicking off its year of World Premieres with the debut of Caught by Christopher Chen. When artist Lin Bo's story of imprisonment in a Chinese detention center gains traction, an American publisher begins to question the authenticity of Bo's story. The play explores truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, and runs now through November 16:

When the legendary Chinese artist Lin Bo appears at the renowned Mana Gallery, his harrowing story of imprisonment in a Chinese detention center has the world standing at attention. Recently profiled in The New Yorker, Lin Bo shares with patrons the details of an ordeal that defies belief.
