Vineyard Theatre and Naked Angels to Co-Produce Zayd Dohrn's Outside People

The Vineyard Theatre and Naked Angels will co-produce the world premiere of Zayd Dohrn's Outside People. Evan Cabnet will direct the production, which will begin performances at the Vineyard on an unspecified date in December and will open in January 2012. Casting will be announced at a later date.

Outside People is set in present-day Beijing and follows Malcolm, a young American who falls in love with a Chinese woman, Xiao Mei. As their social, political and economic backgrounds come in the way of their relationship, Malcolm must confront his complex place in a foreign culture.

This is the first collaboration between the Vineyard Theatre and Naked Angels. The Vineyard's 2011-2012 season will also include The Lyons, starring Linda Lavin.
