Terry Woo wrote the novel Banana Boys in 1999, and Leon Aureus adapted it for the stage in 2005. The story and characters broke new ground by delving deeply into stereotypes of Asian-Canadian male identity. With this remount, it remains challenging, funny and fresh. Filled with local references, the play follows five university buddies who maintain their bond through the years while they struggle to balance societal, parental and personal expectations. The talented cast bring energy and substance to their portrayals.

Banana Boys is a novel about five Chinese Canadians, "Bananas" (read: yellow on the outside, white on the inside), caught in between two cultures which do not seem to accept them fully. Not quite Chinese and not really Canadian, they stumble through stories, situations, incidents, interactions that are seemingly mundane, but upon closer examination, ultimately explore the nature of identity, and reveal the possibilities within themselves.

In 1998, Terry Woo wrote a novel about five men struggling over whether to identify themselves as Chinese, per their heritage, or Canadian, by birthright. Leon Aureus turned the book, called Banana Boys, into a play in 2004; Nina Lee Aquino directed it and it was subsequently revived extensively over the next four years. Aquino, now artistic director of Factory Theatre, has revived it once more. Performances of its new production begin at the Factory Studio Theatre on Wednesday with a new cast, who spoke about the characters they play and being Asian in Toronto today.

Banana Boys is his first play and was also fu-GEN's first full production. The play's development paralleled the exciting growth of the company, neither of which would have been possible without the vision, dedication, hard work, and brilliance of his fellow 'fu-GEN'ers Nina Lee Aquino, Richard Lee, and David Yee.
