CHICK
HABIT
BY NUANZHI ZHENG
Olivia, a small-town nobody, seeks justice after her high school punk-band-turned-whisperpop-duo receives international acclaim for stealing her songs. Oh, and she's also being haunted by the ghost of her dead mother.
An offbeat, quarter-life-crisis-angst-filled dramedy, Chick Habit is for those 20-something women who just aren’t ready to grow up.
A new play by Nuanzhi Zheng (co-writer of Yang/Young/杨), developed as part of Proudly Asian Theatre’s Fresh Off the Page initiative.
Selected for Playmarket’s Asian Ink Award 2022.
