Christopher Chen’s “You Mean To Do Me Harm,” at San Francisco Playhouse through November 3


Christopher Chen’s provocative, jarring and compelling play, “You Mean To Do Me Harm,” centers upon a dinner party attended by two interracial couples. Despite all being witty, sophisticated urbanites, their casual conversation takes a disturbing turn and escalates into the real and the surreal, the actual and the imagined.
Directed by Bill English, the San Francisco Playhouse production stars Jomar Tagatac as Daniel, Katie Rubin as Lindsey, Charisse Loriaux as Samantha and Cassidy Brown as Ben.
