Pissing on the Great Wall

Whether he's beating the streets of Beijing in pursuit of a stolen backpack or confronting Communism in an Emperor's tomb, engaging in a battle of wits with overzealous tour guides or performing a pig sacrifice in his ancestral village, internationally touring storyteller phillip low returns with more mystery, more musings, and of course more angst, in his first travelogue since the 2007 hit Descendant of Dragons (Minnesota Fringe Festival Encore winner).

"It's a mystery story that satisfies because it is about more than the nuts and bolts of solving a puzzle. It's a family story that doesn't shy away from the difficult moments, but also doesn't dissolve into sentimentality. It's a window into another culture, without being a dry sociology lesson. It's a globe-trotting journey that doesn't fall into "look at these slides of my vacation" territory. Amazingly, it's just one guy, standing on a stage, telling a compelling story, with very little in the way of theater tricks to back him up. Because he doesn't need them."
-Matthew Everett, playwright (five star review)
