About the author

Young Jean Lee

Korean-American playwright and director whose work systematically defies audience expectations. Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven, Straight White Men, and We're Gonna Die cover completely different subjects and use radically different forms. She was the first Asian American woman to have a play produced on Broadway.
