Cowboy Versus Samurai

Mixed Blood Theatre, Minneapolis/St. Paul

About the Show

This no-holds-barred romantic comedy re-imagines the Cyrano de Bergerac story with an Asian American twist. The lives of the only two Asian Americans in the tiny western hamlet of Breakneck, Wyoming are turned upside down when the beautiful Veronica Lee, a Korean American teacher from New York City moves to town. Through irony, humor, and social commentary, Cowboy Versus Samurai cleverly exposes the struggle of Asian Americans to find their place in the vast American landscape and with each other. This regional premiere was written by by Michael Golamco.
