When her “untraditional” memorial is selected to commemorate Vietnam veterans on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., 21-year-old architect Maya Lin finds herself defending it to the veterans, the United States Congress, and even her own parents. As the opposition to her design gains momentum, Maya must make a difficult choice.

LAG TIME

• dir. Michelle Aguillon. Company One Theatre/C1 PlayLab (Table Read). Boston. May, 2018

In the 1980’s, a group of Bangladeshis journeyed to China to learn how to run a garment factory. In the present day, American executive Brian Murray follows his boss to Bangladesh to investigate the collapse of a garment factory. What he finds in Dhaka is a woman who can’t keep her story straight, and some engineering that doesn’t add up. As Brian digs deeper for the truth, the past and present converge in unexpected ways. A play about first loves, capitalism, and the price we pay for globalization.
