Description After a sell-out and award-winning season at Auckland Fringe 2019, I AM RACHEL CHU returns; an interrogative act of literary anarchism. Watch and listen as these theatre makers rewrite, rework and revitalise the best-selling book and box-office success Crazy Rich Asians with their own personal histories, superimposing themselves over its so-called relatable protagonist.
