Tao of Fruit

Recommended by

  • Mark Mulkerin: Tao of Fruit

    Lucy Wang delightfully subverts cultural expectations as a Chinese American man, Lyndon, comes out to his father, Charlie, over Asian fusion food. Language, cuisine, and culture are tenderly and lovingly negotiated as the son and his partner woo the father who initially demonstrates some hesitance over straying too far from heritage.

    Lucy Wang depicts a realistic and tender coming out story that will give the audience a sense of hope towards a more accepting future.

    A very sweet dessert of a play as this father and son come to terms over dinner. Well done.
