Overview
Songs of the Dragon Flying to Heaven
Scathingly mischievous Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven is a provocateur's funny, guns-blazing take on the utter banality of ethnic stereotypes and other cross-cultural outrages. In its slyly eccentric way, it's an evening of enlightenment.ā Peter Marks, Washington Post
Part performance art, part comic sketches, fights, dance, song and reverse Bible study,ā and at times strangely serious, Dragons is a bracingly funny always provocative equal-opportunity offender.ā Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Gate
Miss Lee has a talent for evocative and sometimes grotesque imagery, and on the attack she is at the height of her powers.ā New York Times
Church
I will happily worship in the house of Young Jean Lee.ā David Cote, TimeOut New York
A thoroughly entertaining, uplifting, inescapable piece of art So thought provoking, it's only appropriate to give thanks and praise.ā Helen Shaw, The New York Sun
Pullman, WA
"[Leeās] new work has the deadpan simplicity of the plays of Richard Maxwell and the awkward, secretly suffering angst of a teenage diarist working through an identity crisis . It is an honest [work] that takes itself seriously, and that is refreshing." -Jason Zinoman, New York Times
The Appeal
"The Appeal is the happiest literary desecration since Amy Freed's The Bard of Avon, in which Shakespeare declared, I have great thought-like things within my head.āā -Jeremy McCarter, The New York Sun
Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals
Lee is a queen of unease; chuckles never come unaccompanied by squirms.ā Village Voice
