Plays

  • Secret Asian Man
    Dev’s play Secret Asian Man is an autobiographical piece focusing on his experience as a child of two cultures as it plays out in his relationship with his father. It engages with value of authenticity, of resistance to being containered/labeled. It proposes the space between as a viable alternative.
