Interior Chinatown
For our last regular Good Pop episode of the year, we check out the Hulu television adaptation of Charles Yu's award winning novel, Interior Chinatown, starring Jimmy O Yang as Willis Wu, a background character in a world within a police procedural, as he rises through the ranks while investigating what happened to his older brother. But will this meta-fictional story about the Asian American experience ascend to the ranks of good pop?

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
NAATCO returns to The Public with their production of Shakespeare's trilogy, HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS, adapted and directed by Stephen Brown-Fried. Condensed into two parts and performed in rep, experience this saga of a nation spinning wildly out of control. Part 1: Foreign Wars kicks off with the funeral of King Henry V, leaving his infant son on the throne and sending the country into decades of spiraling chaos both abroad and at home. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later, as nascent domestic feuds rapidly metastasize into the full-blown civil war known as the War of the Roses.
