Billed as the US' largest prize for performing arts, it comes with $715,000 in unrestricted funds.
New York-based playwright director Chay Yew is one of six recipients of the Doris Duke Artist Award, billed as the largest prize for the performing arts in the US.
Chay posted on his Facebook page on April 27 that he had been sitting on the news, announced by the foundation on April 25, for months “because I was unable to process this immense recognition. And in many ways, I still can’t”. His gay-centred play Porcelain , about a Chinese teenager found with the dead body of his lover, won rave reviews when it premiered at London’s Etcetera Theatre and moved to the Royal Court theatre.
