When Sunny is born in rural China, her parents leave her in a slop
bucket to die because she's a girl. She survives, and at 14 leaves
for the city, where she works a low-paying factory job and attends
self-help classes to improve her chances at securing a coveted
office position. When Sunny's attempts to pull herself out of
poverty lead to dire consequences for a fellow worker, she is
forced to question the system she's spent her life trying to master
- and stand up against the powers that be. Savage, tragic and
desperately funny, The World of Extreme Happiness is a stirring
examination of a country in the midst of rapid change, and
individuals struggling to shape their own destinies. This new
edition is published to coincide with the US premiere of the play
at the Goodman Theatre, Chicago, which then transfers to the
Manhattan Theater Club, NYC.
