  Chiefly, it has writer Susan Kim behind it—her adaptation is heavy on close-up intimacy, and she manages to advance the story and characters at the same time.
  ...
  Still, Cirino has crafted a good divisiveness between the generations, and Tan and Kim pull no punches in creating the interrelationships.

  For Susan Kim, the 'Joy Luck Club' question was what to leave out.
  ...
  Such was the challenge faced by Susan Kim, a seasoned playwright and television writer, when she undertook adapting Tan's tale for the stage.But it was one that Kim knew she was up to after being approached by the Long Wharf Theatre in the early 1990s.
  
  "It was coming to Amy Tan's attention that there were unauthorized stage versions cropping up," says Kim.
  ...
  Kim says this made her job a lot easier when it came to restructuring the narrative within a theatrical framework.
  
  "The book is all about memory and stories," Kim says.
  ...
  "The first thing I did after rereading the book was keep a list of all the central events of the story," Kim explains."I broke it down to mother-daughter combinations, and then viscerally I rated them according to emotional heat: which stories had the greatest stakes, which were the funny stories, which stories had the greatest resonance either for mother or daughter, and which one signaled closure and movement.Once I did that, it became clear there were so many fantastic stories that would not make it into the play."
  
  > To further differentiate the play from the novel, Kim injected signature details to delineate the relationships."I did put in a suggestion that the mothers and daughters be clothed from the same color palette," she says."The colors themselves were very specifically chosen from the book.The character of An-Mei Hsu has a sapphire that's important to her, and her little son drowns in the ocean.So the color blue is used for her and her daughter Rose."
  
  For Kim, the play , which premiered in a joint production of Long Wharf and the Shanghai People's Art Theatre in 1993 and was subsequently produced at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto, Calif. , received its greatest validation from Tan herself.
  ...
  "She was very pleased with it when she saw it," Kim says.
