Squigs Serves as Inky Interpreter for David Henry Hwang’s Bilingual Comedy Chinglish

The fabulous actors in David Henry Hwang’s Chinglish were speaking Justin "Squigs" Robertson’s language when he headed to the Longacre Theatre to check out their show! With Gary Wilmes playing a fish-out-of-water American businessman trying to land a lucrative contract in China opposite Jennifer Lim's tough-as-nails Chinese official, Broadway.com's resident artist had plenty of drama to dig into. His dramatic moment of choice? The all-important exchange of business cards. Check out Squigs’ colorful interpretation of this cross-cultural comedy, then see it on stage for yourself.



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home. Click to e-mail Squigs. Photo by Matthew Murphy
