Synopsis: | Chin's play barges through the comfortable stereotypes of the Asian American. When first produced in 1974, the play created an enormous stir and has had a profound impact on a generation of young Asian American writers. "The language is frequently strong, and the bitterness, even when wrapped in some very funny comedy, is unrelenting." --New York Times. | |||||
