MADAME HO
Inspired by the life of Eugenie’s great-grandmother Madame Ho tells the story of a formidable Barbary Coast, San Francisco single mother, Chinese immigrant, brothel madam, and ghost. A tale of survival and complicity. The first play in my Gum Saan Trilogy, based on my Chinese American family's 170 years in the American West.
