Meet Livian Yeh, award-winning playwright, translator extraordinaire, and just one of eight playwrights working on ATB’s new documentary theatre project This Place/Displaced, to give voice to stories of displacement, gentrification, and housing inequity in Boston.
We chatted with Livian to find out a little bit more about her play, What Happens in this House, and what this project means to him.
Join us at Charlestown Working Theater August 17-25 to see What Happens in This House and seven more new plays!
Have you ever worked on a play based off of interviews before? What has this process been like for you?
This Place/Displaced is performing at the Charlestown Working Theatre on at 8pm August 17, 18, 24, and 25. Tickets from $10. Join us to hear the stories of our eight amazing community partners from across the city of Boston. Plus, check out an exhibit of our community partners’ own artwork and writing in the lobby and pick up ATB’s original zine about the history and current climate of gentrification in Boston.
