White Pearl
Anchuli Felicia King’s White Pearl is a bold and dynamic play that critiques the complexities of race, identity, and corporate power in a globalized world. Set in a skincare company in Singapore, the play follows a team of executives dealing with a viral marketing disaster caused by a racist ad campaign. The fast-paced narrative explores the clash between corporate interests, cultural sensitivity, and personal accountability. King’s sharp dialogue and dark humor highlight the absurdities of modern capitalism, while also offering a reflection on privilege, diversity, and the consequences of unchecked power.
