Five days before his 30^th birthday, Winston’s parents reveal a surprising family secret that sends his life plans up in flames. Thus begins a whirlwind comedic journey in which Winston must reevaluate everything he thought he knew about himself and his parents. Big Hunk o’ Burnin’ Love is a farcical exploration of how we love and the responsibilities we owe our families, and how those two emotional duties are often intertwined.

Big Hunk o’ Burnin’ Love was first produced by East West Players in 1998, and subsequently by Second Generation Productions in New York City and by Asian Stories in America (ASIA) Theatre in Arlington, Virginia.
