SUMMARY:Disarranged Marriage - Fringe Festival
DESCRIPTION:Disarranged Marriage written and directed by Jocelyn Deng – Ottawa Fringe Festival \n\n\n\nRory is content with his life – engaged to a runaway scholar (she doesn’t know)\, his parents no longer bother him with blind dates and he doesn’t actually have to deal with a pesky fiancée. Serenade’s unexpected return makes plans go awry. The two must face aspects of their respective lives they’d rather forget. Disarranged Marriage is about a certain type of loneliness\, the nagging feeling of inadequacy. Created by a queer 2nd generation Chinese-Canadian\, performed by a queer and/or POC cast & crew\, we invite you to a world unashamed of its flaws and made with love.
