M. Butterfly Back on Broadway: A Conversation With David Henry Hwang and Julie Taymor

• Performing Arts

This fall David Henry Hwang’s Tony Award-winning play M. Butterfly returns to Broadway in a dazzling new production, starring Academy Award nominee Clive Owen and directed by the visionary Julie Taymor (The Lion King). Based on a real-life scandal, M. Butterfly delves into a world of love, espionage, and deception. David Henry Hwang and Julie Taymor come together to discuss their artistic collaboration and the new vision they have developed in recognition of the wider issues that make the production contemporary, nearly 30 years after its original Broadway debut in 1988.
