A satirical play by the scathingly funny, award-winning Young Jean Lee, SONGS OF THE DRAGONS FLYING TO HEAVEN takes the audience on a shockingly funny dissection of race. Obliterating conventions of Asian stereotypes through its violent and explosive theatricality, SONGS follows four Korean women on a wild journey—sometimes hilarious, often times squirm-inducing. A Tarantino-esque collage of dance, monologues, scenes, and violence hilariously flood the stage where nothing is sacred, but everything is incisive and intelligent. New York Magazine calls SONGS "the strongest indication that the avant-garde isn't dead, and has never been funnier," while Time Out New York hails Lee as "one of the best experimental playwrights in America."
The West Coast premiere of SONGS OF THE DRAGONS FLYING TO HEAVEN opens March 26, 2011, and runs for three weeks, through April 16, 2011 at the Thick House, 1695 18th Street, San Francisco.

This play was utterly brilliant, and this particular production of it was fantastic.

Amen, sister. Amen. Fuck, I wish I was in the West Coast right now to see your performance. Are you coming to the East Coast? And, don't suppose you can use your superb qualities to strong-arm an Asian-American man to do a performance as an under-rated sexual object/spouse for white women as Asian-American women are THE sexual object/spouse for white men?
