Don't mess with a Chinese grandma.
When a high-rise developer threatens to buy out A-Poh’s successful Chinatown restaurant, the martyr-complex matriarch gathers her three precious grandchildren from all corners of the country to plan their next mode of attack.
There’s just one problem—A-Poh's memory is rapidly fading. What follows is a chaotic journey through reality, myth and magic as A-Poh travels through now and the great beyond in a last-ditch effort to preserve what’s left of her family, legacy and sanity.
A caustic and imaginative spin on King Lear in response to the gentrification of America’s Chinatowns.
Produced by Primary Stages.
