Waterfall, based on "Behind the Painting," a contemporary novel by Siburapha, is a love story set in Bangkok and Tokyo between 1933-39 as a monarchy falls in Thailand and Japan is on the brink of war. The show tells the story of a young Thai student who falls in love with the American wife of a Thai diplomat. The story of their forbidden love parallels history as the new democracy of Siam moves into the vortex of the increasingly pre-World War II Japan.

Waterfall is billed as "Broadway bound." Dates and a theatre have yet to be announced.
