News PHOTO CALL: Meet the Cast of Zayd Dohrn's Outside People at the Vineyard Matthew Dellapina, Nelson Lee, Li Jun Li and Sonequa Martin-Green have been cast in the world premiere of Zayd Dohrn's dark comedy Outside People, which will begin performances Dec. 21 at the Vineyard Theatre.

A co-production of the Vineyard and Naked Angels, Outside People is directed by Evan Cabnet. It will officially open Jan. 10, 2012, for a run through Jan. 29, 2012.

"Set in modern-day Beijing, Outside People, Zayd Dohrn's darkly comic new play is the story of a young American man, Malcolm (Dellapina) who falls in love with a young Chinese woman, Xiao Mei (Li). But as his eyes open to the subtle social, political and economic forces that inform their relationship, he must confront his complex place in this foreign culture, the friendship that brought him there, and his own deepest fears and desires," according to press notes.
