The Great Leap "The play is a believable encapsulation of history, and a respectful reclamation of the same. In Yee's own graceful leap, one of history's faceless is given a face, and a justly realized story." --The Daily Beast "An exhilarating, deeply satisfying piece of work, powered by gutsy performances and full of bright, inquisitive, humorous life." --Vulture "[The Great Leap] examines culture clash; alludes to modern Chinese history; and ponders the costs of caution and courage, patience and impatience. Perhaps as important, the play is a delectable opportunity to spend time with Yee's vivid, idiosyncratic, scarred and funny characters." --The Washington Post "Smart, feisty, highly enjoyable.an exhilarating, deeply satisfying piece of work, powered by gutsy performances and full of bright, inquisitive, humorous life." --Vulture Ching Chong Chinaman "A lively, likable show.
gleefully highlights the assimilated life of the Wongs, who defy the stereotype of the hard-driving Chinese-American family. It's clever, and her insights are astute." --New York Times "A smart, fast-paced comedy that wrings laughs from the topics of cultural identity and assimilation. Neither predictable nor politically correct, it's a satirical cartoon that has heart and even occasional poignancy." --TheaterMania "If you are in the mood for a smart and cheeky deconstruction of race in California today, look no further. This audacious satire.skewers clichés and bursts taboos from start to finish. The San Francisco playwright also has a flair for irreverence that won't quit.
" --San Jose Mercury News "Ching Chong Chinaman is a wildly inventive, raucously funny ride. Though rooted in Asian American literary tradition, this play upends its conventions with inspired irreverence, aided by brilliant staging and a powerhouse ensemble. You have not seen anything like this before. The fourth wave of Asian American playwriting has arrived." --David Henry Hwang The Hatmaker's Wife "[A] touchingly funny play. What makes The Hatmaker's Wife a success is its dexterity and fluidity. Yee's characters and story lines jump back and forth.between gut-laughter funny and hit-you-in-the-gut sad--and they do so with astounding truthfulness.
" --TheaterMania "Exceptionally entertaining. It will linger in my memory for weeks and months to come." --DC Metro Theater Arts "Ms. Yee.brings a courageous, childlike conviction to her fey land of make-believe." --New York Times King of the Yees "A delightfully disorderly entertainment, as sprawling and silly as it is unexpectedly moving." --Los Angeles Times "King of the Yees is a freewheeling adventure that frequently acknowledges earthly concerns, framing them through a personal lens that becomes increasingly warped as we follow Yee down the rabbit hole of her conscience." --New City Stage "This writer displays a distinctive, keen-edged wit, a quirky and capacious imagination and a fresh, millennial vision of Asian America.
