Young Jean Lee’s previous play Songs Of The Dragons Flying To Heaven was a fierce satire of the Korean community in the U.S. THE SHIPMENT pursues this politically incorrect exploration of identity. Taking up clichés about African-Americans to turn them inside out, the play denounces the persistent power of race representations.
