Kanhg, on the other hand, says part of the appeal of “The Four Immigrants” was that the story of Issei, or first-generation Japanese immigrants, is not a familiar one to many audiences. “I felt like I’d stumbled onto a real find,” says the playwright. “There’s not a lot of documentation on Issei, since they came here to work. They weren’t necessarily focused on capturing their story.”. As with “Lizzie,” costuming is important in “The Four Immigrants,” especially since four women play a total of 90 characters in the show. While many of these characters are minor, Kanhg says each woman in the cast also has a featured role.
