Shownotes
For our first Good Pop of the new year, we check out the new Asian American action dramedy The Brothers Sun, starring MIchelle Yeoh as the matriarch of a Taiwanese triad living in hiding in the SGV with her younger son who has no idea he's in a crime family. Their lives are thrown into chaos when her eldest son arrives in town to protect the family from rival gangs. It feels like we've been waiting forever for an Asian American show set in the SGV, but does The Brothers Sun make it as good pop?

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
NAATCO returns to The Public with their production of Shakespeare's trilogy, HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS, adapted and directed by Stephen Brown-Fried. Condensed into two parts and performed in rep, experience this saga of a nation spinning wildly out of control. Part 1: Foreign Wars kicks off with the funeral of King Henry V, leaving his infant son on the throne and sending the country into decades of spiraling chaos both abroad and at home. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later, as nascent domestic feuds rapidly metastasize into the full-blown civil war known as the War of the Roses.
