Chinese Republicans
Chinese Republicans is a satirical new play, written by Alex Lin and directed by Chay Yew, presented by Roundabout Theatre Company. Three high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they're certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
Shifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation, intergenerational conflict, and gender politics in the workplace -- all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is now in previews at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre in New York City. For tickets and more information, go here.
