A collection of four stunningly imaginative plays that examine and deconstruct Asian American identity from the acclaimed writer of Cambodian Rock Band. With a sharp wit and a gift for the fantastical, Lauren Yee’s plays offer unexpected and often irreverent explorations of cultural identity, family histories, and what it means to find community. In The Great Leap, a hotshot basketball player from San Francisco’s Chinatown talks his way onto a college basketball team, which is set to travel to Beijing for a “friendship” game. When they arrive, however, they find a country in the throes of the late 1980s post-Cultural Revolution era—and a brewing rebellion that will soon test the tolerance of the post-Mao Communist Party. This collection also includes Ching Chong Chinaman, The Hatmaker’s Wife, and King of the Yees.
