During the age of the pandemic, PFP put together special staged readings of new work, to supplement our Unleashed festival of world premiere work by POC playwrights.

Written by Roger Tang
Directed by Kiefer Harrington

Shih knows one thing in life: survival. She clawed her way up from refugee to prostitute to support her injured sister. But when China’s pirate lord offers her a chance at something more, the sorceress Wu and her dark forces gather to destroy her before she can even accept…and fulfill a destiny from the gods! An action fantasy a la BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA and MULAN, complete with pirate queens, swords and sorcery!

PFP rolls on with our blockbuster series with a reading of Night Parade: The Ghost Forest, a co-production with Nordo:

When Justin, a white Youtuber, and Mari, his hapa assistant and girlfriend, go to Japan, they are spirited away by the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. Now yokai want to devour them for their wrongdoings and they must tell the story of what happened when they visited the Aokigahara forest or the “Suicide Forest.” But both have secrets that get revealed; Mari has to wrestle with what Justin did and what her role is in defending him or letting him go.
