Acollection of four stunningly imaginative plays that examine and deconstructAsian American identity from the acclaimed writer ofCambodianRock Band.

With a sharpwit and a gift for the fantastical, Lauren Yee's plays offer unexpected andoften irreverent explorations of cultural identity, family histories, and whatit means to find community. InThe Great Leap, ahotshot basketball player from San Francisco's Chinatown talks his way onto acollege 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 late1980s post-Cultural Revolution era-and a brewing rebellion that will soon testthe tolerance of the post-Mao Communist Party.

This collection also includes Ching Chong Chinaman, The Hatmaker'sWife, and Kingof the Yees.
