Based on the book by John Okada, and set in the aftermath of WWII as Japanese Americans return to the West Coast, the play follows draft resister Ichiro Yamada after he is released from prison and STRUGGLES TO COME TO TERMS WITH HIS CHOICES, while the rest of the community tries to get back on its feet after a war that has uprooted them all.
*FISHING FOR WIVES is like a Shakespearian comedy-of-errors in 1913 Hawaii, that complements NO-NO BOY, about Japanese-Americans who refused to sign an oath of allegiance in WWII and what happens to their lives after.
