One of the very best things a work of art can do is to give the voiceless a public voice in
order to be heard. And award-winning playwright Preston Choi does that, loud and clear,
in his great new This is Not a True Story. In this thought provoking, highly entertaining
one-act play the characters of Cio-Cio-San (here called CioCio and played by Julia Cho)
from Giacomo Puccini’s 1904 Japan-set opera Madame Butterfly, Kim (Zandi De Jesus)
from the 1989 musical Miss Saigon, and the real-life Takako Konishi (Rosie Narasaki –
more below on Konishi, who has a bizarre tie-in to the Coen Brothers’ 1996 movie
Fargo) collide with one another, and especially in CioCio and Kim’s cases, with their
Caucasian creators. Hilarity, poignancy and above all, insight into the damage that racial
stereotyping causes ensues.
Kim, of course, is based on the Italian composer Puccini’s Cio-Cio-San in the adaptation
of Madame Butterfly that’s updated and reset in Vietnam in 1975 in Miss Saigon, with
music by Frenchman Claude-Michel Schönberg, book by Tunisian-born Alain Boublil
