A few weeks back, as rehearsals began for Berkeley Rep's The Far Country, I went along with cast and crew to visit one of the central settings of our play, Angel Island in San Francisco Bay. Read about our meaningful visit in the San Francisco Chronicle article: Berkeley Rep actors set sail on a field trip to prepare for a play about Angel Island/ Lloyd Suh’s “The Far Country” incorporates poems that detainees carved onto Angel Island facility walls in the era of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
