Recommendations of Tao of Fruit

  • 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.

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

  • John Mabey: Tao of Fruit

    Lucy Wang has such a wonderful way with both comedy and drama. And in TAO OF FRUIT she takes a difficult conversation and creates a delightful feast. What might be a familiar experience to many when coming-out is crafted here as something very unique. And this comedic but poignant moment between father and son is elevated through a cultural lens as well as the setting as a backdrop to their own special relationship.

  • Steven G. Martin: Tao of Fruit

    A feel-good, warm-hearted, gently comic short play about Chinese fathers and sons communicating (and sometimes not communicating) about their lives.

    From the setting to the characters and dialogue, Lucy Wang skillfully leads the audience and characters into a play about understanding and appreciating tradition, yet not shying away from new opportunities. The role of Charlie would be a gift to an older comic actor, and the bantering dialogue would please any audience. "Tao of Fruit" would make for a delightful production.

    A delightful coming out story which pokes fun at the awkwardness between family members. Tender and funny, this play would be a great addition to a 10 minute play festival.

    Delightful. The humor builds on itself as the story complicates and rewards.
