The Obituary
by Xiaoyan Kang
While volunteering at a hospice ward, a high school senior in Singapore was asked to write an obituary. The obituary unraveled the untold story of a diasporic family and led the 18-year-old to reimagine her “American Dream.” This is a memory play, or, an obituary itself.
This play includes discussion of death of loved ones.
