Lies and Weddings at the National Writers Series

June 1, 2024

“​​A forbidden affair erupts volcanically amid a decadent tropical wedding in this outrageous comedy of manners.” Sounds like a modern-day Shakespearean comedy to us! Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians, is back with another complicated love story—complete with debts, secrets, scandals, and even murder—in the aptly-titled Lies and Weddings. Kwan takes the stage on Tuesday, June 4, at the City Opera House (COH) for a National Writers Series event to talk about the new book with host Chad Lindsey, executive director of COH. Catch the conversation at 7pm; in-person tickets start at $42, virtual tickets are $40, and both include a copy of Lies and Weddings. (Other options are available for students and multi-ticket purchases.) Learn more at nationalwritersseries.org/kevin-kwan
