Her journey through the jungles of the Philippines mirrors her dilemma over her role in a corrupt corporation’s nefarious secrets in a paper shredding room.

However, the development of the play itself has traveled through an extensive three-year journey at Locus Arts, Bindlestiff Studio, TheatreWorks, Ma-Yi Theatre, and Fountain Theatre. This production represents the culmination of the play’s evolution. FINALIST, Seattle Repertory Theatre/Hedgebrook Women’s Playwrights Festival 2003, and the Taper Too Asian American Workshop 2003.
