"Sly, weird, and thoroughly winning . . . Bracing, funny, and,
yes, consoling."--"The New York Times"
"Young Jean Lee will give you whiplash. Her ability to stake out
aesthetic territory and then abruptly abandon it makes her
unpredictable; her tendency to excel at each new genre makes her
terrifying. In the enormously touching cabaret-style "We're Gonna
Die," Lee jettisons everything that has armored this "au courant"
young playwright against the world. . . . Lee purchases our hearts
with her bravery's own coin."--"Time Out New York"
Inspired by her personal experiences with despair and
loneliness, the Obie Award-winning playwright-provocateur and her
band Future Wife create a life-affirming show that anyone can
perform, about the one thing everyone has in common: we're all
gonna die. Each book includes a CD of all six songs and eight
monologues performed by David Byrne, Laurie Anderson, Adam
Horowitz, and others.
Young Jean Lee has been hailed as "one of the best experimental
playwrights in America" by "Time Out New York." She has written and
directed nine shows in New York with Young Jean Lee's Theater
Company and toured her work to over twenty cities around the world.
Her other plays include "The Shipment," "Lear," and "Songs of the
Dragons Flying to Heaven." Awards include two Obies, the Festival
Prize of the Zuercher Theater Spektakel, a Prize in Literature from
the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Guggenheim Fellowship,
and a Doris Duke Artist Award.
