Lee Young Jean (214 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "A subversive, seriously funny new theater piece by the adventurous playwright Young Jean Lee. . . . Ms. Lee does not shy away from prodding the audience's racial sensitivities--or insensitivities--in a style that is sometimes sly and subtle, sometimes as blunt as a poke in the eye."--Charles Isherwood, The New York Times "Lee is a facetious provocateur; she does whatever she can to get under our skins--with laughs and with raw, brutal talk . . . [and with] so ingenious a twist, such a radical bit of theatrical smoke and mirrors, that we are forced to confront our own preconceived notions of race."--Hilton Als, The New Yorker With The Shipment, her latest work taking on identity politics, Young Jean Lee "confirms herself as one of the best experimental playwrights in America" (Time Out New York). The Korean American theater artist has taken on cultural images of black America, in a play that begins with sketches of African American clichés--an angry, foul-mouthed comedian; an aspiring young rapper who ends up in prison--and ends with a seemingly naturalistic parlor comedy, which slyly reveals the larger game Lee is playing, leaving us to consider the many ways that we see the world through a racial lens. Young Jean Lee is a playwright, director, and artistic director of her own OBIE Award-winning theater company, which as been producing her plays since 2003. Her other works include Songs of Dragons Flying to Heaven, Church, The Appeal, and Pullman, WA, and they have been produced across the country and internationally.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Provocative playwright Young Jean Lee lends her shrewd perspective to this atypical take on the family drama. A father and his three sons unite and unravel, both aware of and undone by privilege and its pressure. When inherent social expectation conflicts with a desire to remain stagnant, the resulting identity confusion is new territory for the tightknit family. Strikingly observant and curiously drawn, Lee departs from her experimental style to create a naturalistic observation of the most socially unobstructed of our species, the straight white male.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Have you ever noticed how most Asian Americans are slightly brain- damaged from having grown up with Asian parents? begins the Korean American protagonist of Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven, the singular work by Young Jean Lee. This is the first collection by the downtown writer-director, whose explorations of stereotypes of race, gender, and religion are unflinching--and seat-squirming funny. This volume includes the following plays: Songs of the Dragon Flying to HeavenScathingly mischievous.Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven is a provocateur's funny, guns-blazing take on the utter banality of ethnic stereotypes and other cross-cultural outrages. In its slyly eccentric way, it's an evening of enlightenment. -Peter Marks, Washington PostPart performance art, part comic sketches, fights, dance, song and 'reverse Bible study, ' and at times strangely serious, Dragons is a bracingly funny.always provocative equal-opportunity offender. -Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco GateMiss Lee has a talent for evocative and sometimes grotesque imagery, and on the attack she is at the height of her powers. -New York Times ChurchI will happily worship in the house of Young Jean Lee. -David Cote, TimeOut New YorkA thoroughly entertaining, uplifting, inescapable piece of art.So thought provoking, it's only appropriate to give thanks and praise. -Helen Shaw, The New York Sun Pullman, WA Lee's] new work has the deadpan simplicity of the plays of Richard Maxwell and the awkward, secretly suffering angst of a teenage diarist working through an identity crisis. It is an honest work] that takes itself seriously, and that is refreshing. -Jason Zinoman, New York Times The AppealThe Appeal is the happiest literary desecration since Amy Freed's The Bard of Avon, in which Shakespeare declared, 'I have great thought-like things within my head.' -Jeremy McCarter, The New York Sun Groundwork of the Metaphysic of MoralsLee is a queen of unease; chuckles never come unaccompanied by squirms. -Village Voice YaggooA rising star of the downtown theatre scene. -New York Times Young Jean Lee has written and directed shows in New York with Young Jean Lee's Theater Company and toured her work to over twenty cities around the world. Her plays include Straight White Men, We're Gonna Die, Untitled Feminist Show, The Shipment, Lear and Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven.
