Following a critically acclaimed debut in New York, Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh brings The Far Country back to its roots in a triumphant West Coast premiere. In the wake of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Moon Gyet has arrived at San Francisco Bay鈥檚 Angel Island Immigration Station with an invented biography and a new name, both given to him by a man who made the same arduous crossing several years earlier. But passage to San Francisco 鈥� and the dream of a better life for future generations 鈥� commands a very high price. Spanning two countries and three generations, Lloyd Suh鈥檚 breathtaking account of immigration, identity, and memory has been called 鈥淎rtful鈥n act, loving and sorrowful, of reclamation鈥irected with sensitivity and spirit鈥� by The New York Times (Critic鈥檚 Pick).
