An excerpt from the book that chronicles the true story of Shi Pei-Pu and Bernard Boursicot. If you're puzzled as to how a guy can be fooled into thinking his "mistress" is a woman for 20 years when he's really a man (and a biologically normal one, at that), this is the closest you're going to get to an explanation.
Here's a photo of Shi as a young man in full opera regalia, and one from his French years. And a French newspaper with him and Bouriscot together.
By the way, the 2009 Pulitzers were announced today. Check out the list of past winners...how many are in the curriculum?
In addition to DHH winning a Tony for Best Play, B.D. Wong won for Best Featured Actor, and John Dexter won for Best Direction...his other Tony was for the 1975 production of Equus (better known as the play that has Harry Potter naked).
And a warning: there will be full frontal male nudity at the climax of the play. If you don't want to see it, you'll get plenty of warning before he strips down all the way...cover up your eyes, leave the room, do whatever you need to do. Just don't freak out afterward because you saw some actor's junk.
And just for a point of reference with regards to the economy, the current value of 100 yen is just over a dollar, exactly $1.01455.
