Abstract
The playwright inspired by Asian styles or genres of performance faces a dilemma of conscience. Is appropriation of cultural artifacts for the enrichment of one's own art ethically correct? The debate regarding political correctness and multi‐culturalism in the United States raises disturbing questions. Is censorship by the culturally sensitive for the purpose of promoting social equality any different than censorship by the religious right for the purpose of promoting fundamentalist Christian values? What is the role of the artist in society, and how can the artist be open to all stimuli without offending members of other cultures? Ultimately, the artist must be free of all societal constraints in order to express her personal vision.
