"Expatriated" is a poignant and thought-provoking play that delves deep into the complexities of migration, identity, and privilege. Set against the contrasting backdrops of Hong Kong and Los Angeles, the narrative centers on two lawyers—one from LA navigating the vibrant city of Hong Kong, and the other from Hong Kong grappling with the harsh realities of starting anew in LA. This single-act play skillfully juxtaposes their experiences, highlighting the stark dichotomies and shared struggles of those who leave home in search of new horizons. ... full review

I learned a whole lot about the immigration experience from two polarized perspectives. It is incredibly important and meaningful for Americans to see more empathetic and realistic portrayals of immigration, now more than ever. I want more... ... full review

“Expatriated” portrays the differences in experiences of two attorneys who accept jobs away from their homes: a white woman who leaves L.A. for Hong Kong, and a Chinese woman who leaves Hong Kong to get a job in L.A.

Yet the main thing both characters experience is homesickness from living so far away from their places of origin.... full review

ANONYMOUS certified reviewer June 26, 2024
While EXPATRIATED was informative about race and white privilege, it was often repetitive-- for instance, there were several scenes in which the immigrant had conversations with the HR lady that illustrated the HR lady's casual racism. That point could have been conveyed in just one scene. There also wasn't a cohesive plot. Instead, we got lots of scenes with one actress experiencing racism and the other reaping unearned benefits, due to their respective races. This show has potential, but it doesn't really need to be 55 minutes long.... full review

A poignant overview of both privilege and the emotional toll of exploring new horizons, told through the tale of two similar women from different cultures. Well conceived and acted, it deserves attention as a meaningful work that is also entertaining. ... full review

It was a great story with a simple but very effective production. It is filled with emotion, laughter, and serious commentary on social views. Worth a watch ... full review
