ilm Chinois takes us back to 1947 Peking, an uneasy time between WWII and the imminent Communist takeover two years later. The play follows Chinadoll, a Maoist femme fatale, Randolph, a fresh-faced American operative on a secret mission, and a mysterious man. Further complicating things are the Ambassador and his current flame, Simone, a songstress with something up her sleeve. As Randolph plunges deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness, he finds his life imperiled, as he begins to unravel the mystery of a piece of old home-made film.
