The Brothers Sun
For our first Good Pop of the new year, we check out the new Asian American action dramedy The Brothers Sun, starring MIchelle Yeoh as the matriarch of a Taiwanese triad living in hiding in the SGV with her younger son who has no idea he's in a crime family. Their lives are thrown into chaos when her eldest son arrives in town to protect the family from rival gangs. It feels like we've been waiting forever for an Asian American show set in the SGV, but does The Brothers Sun make it as good pop?

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
The National Asian American Theatre Company’s acclaimed production of HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS brings an all-AANHPI cast to The Public Theater for a decades-spanning saga of Joan of Arc, warring dukes, and the bloody birth of the War of the Roses. Adapted by Stephen Brown-Fried, this is Shakespeare like you've never experienced it. Part 1: Foreign Wars opens with a king dead, an infant on the throne, and a country already coming apart at the seams. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later...and the bloodbath is yet to come. Simmering feuds explode into the War of the Roses, and nothing will ever be the same. Performances from June 9 through July 19! Use code H6BC for $59 tickets!
