Young Jean Lee's THE SHIPMENT 10/31/08 |
The Wexner Center hosted the World
Premiere of Young Jean Lee's newest play
THE SHIPMENT.
THE SHIPMENT is, in the playwright’s words, ”an extremely awkward exploration of the experience of being black in America that raises pointed questions about ethnic appropriation and race relations that will leave people reeling... My work is about struggling to achieve something in the face of failure and incompetence and not-knowing. The discomfort and awkwardness involved in watching this struggle reflect the truth of my experience."
After each performance the audience was invited to hear more about the creative vision and process of this rising young talent in post-performance discussions with Young Jean Lee's Theater Company.
Performances were 10/28/08 thru 11/2/08.
