Ching Chong Chinaman
Ching Chong Chinaman | Lauren Yee
1 post | 1 read
The ultra-assimilated Wong family is as Chinese-American as apple pie: teenager Upton dreams of World of Warcraft superstardom; his sister Desdemona dreams of early admission to Princeton. Unfortunately, Upton's chores and homework get in the way of his 24/7 videogaming, and Desi's math grades don't fit the Asian-American stereotype. Then Upton comes up with a novel solution for both problems: he acquires a Chinese indentured servant, who harbors an American dream of his own.

It's a short play about immigration and identity. I think the play's aim was being funny, but it was a big fail for me, as I found the characters quite unlikable, and actually too stupid and self-centered to be funny.
