RACHEL HAUBEN plays the dominatrix and Don
Nguyen plays her Chinese client in “Bondage,” a play
written by David Henry Hwang. Hwang, the author of
the renowned “M. Butterfly,” continues to explore the
way ethnic identities shape our sexual andsocial selves.
“Bondage” delves into these themes, stressing how
different races, sexual orientations and religions mold
who we are. The play demonstrates how people’s social
roles are used to humiliate and degrade them, like the
submissive role of Nguyen as the client versus the
overpowering role of Hauben’s dominatrix.* “bondage”
opened at the Blue Bam Theatre, 1258 S. 13th St in
Omaha, last weekend, and will continue on Sunday
through Tuesday.
