Publisher’s Synopsis (from its website)<\/h4>\n

Banana Boys: The Play<\/span> is a smart, contemporary and wickedly funny play about five young Asian-Canadian men wrestling with issues of race, identity and the death of a friend. It is one story, fragmented into five and reconstructed throughout the course of their lives. Adapted from the novel by Terry Woo, Banana Boys<\/span> is a \u201cmeditation for the restless\u201d and a call to anyone who has felt out of place in the world.<\/p>\n
