Description

';Young Jean Lee's Untitled Feminist Show is one of the more moving and imaginative works I have ever seen on the American stagewhat makes it so transcendent is its delicious ability to alternate the pain of being different with a sense of humor about lives not lived among the status quo.' Hilton Als, New Yorker

';The twisty, turbulent, argumentative work of Young Jean Leewill make you flinch, but it's hard to look awayLee has always been interested in exposing how we perform our identities. But in Straight White Men, she drills into something more core. Shuck off, subvert, cleave to your gender or race all you like, but a universal horror of weakness remainsa collective orientation toward status, power, control.'

Parul Sehgal, New York Times

';Who said the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak? Both are pretty damn fierce in director Young Jean Lee's all-nude dance suite cheekily (but purposefully) called Untitled Feminist Show. In a scant (and scantily clad) hour, Lee and her gutsy dancers try on a dizzying variety of modes and masks to shake up gender norms.' David Cote, Time Out New York

';Straight White Men might be the most subversive thing that Young Jean Lee, one of American theater's most keenly seditious practitioners, has ever done.' Alexis Soloski, Guardian

';Young Jean Lee is, hands down, the most adventurous downtown playwright of her generation.' Charles Isherwood, New York Times

Young Jean Lee, with Straight White Men, became the first Asian-American woman to have her play produced on Broadway. She has directed her work in more than thirty cities around the world, and is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, two OBIE Awards, a Prize in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and a PEN Literary Award.
