Abstract
Writing this play was an attempt to bridge the gap of the Chinese and English theatrical canons, and to find where The Red Line belongs, somewhere in the intersection of the two. This play is written in both English and Chinese, and my process notes explore the creative development process as it relates to both writing and translating a body of work, as well as staging it. I knew this work would aid my future work in theatrical translation and analysis of Chinese drama, but unexpectedly, writing and translating has made me view my narrative voice and self in a new context: discovering my voice in Chinese, and taught me to see my English one in a different light.
