Finding balance is a tricky thing as a playwright. We are supposed to think about pacing, plot development, characterization, back stories, subtext, nuance etc. and balance them all effortlessly in a “voice” (da fuq?) of our own. Tall beast to slay in just one playing. In American Yu, we are given quite a meaty beast to slay. Politically charged and littered with giggling dialogue and relevancy that transcends the page; this beast is clearly fleshed in totality. My mind raced and heartbeat thumped along rapidly to this one. I hope yours does too.
