The first full-length I ever wrote after a stint in sketch and improv comedy. It's basically a knockdown of Asian American family dramas coupled with a dystopian future (and the disembodied head of George Takei). One of these days I might get around to revising it completely since my views of Asian American politics must have changed drastically since I started playwriting.
