The Great Leap and Other Plays

By Lauren Yee

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.
