Danny Chen. Remember the name. In An American Soldier, the composer Huang Ruo and the playwright David Henry Hwang memorialize the Chinese-American Army Private who was found dead in a guard tower at his base in Afghanistan on October 3, 2011. It’s hard to know how to honor such a casualty. Thankfully, Huang Ruo and Hwang are artists to whom the meaning of the word propaganda seems to be unknown. We’re promised “the powerful true story of a young solider from Manhattan’s Chinatown who sought to serve his country, only to find his biggest threat was the very people who swore to protect him.” —Matthew Gurewitsch
