The community of national & local readers for the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival enthusiastically recommends BAD CHINESE DAUGHTER as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We highly enjoyed the supernatural forces, overlap in generations, and the 100 year time span of the play. We were engaged by the various point of views highlighted in the play, the magic, and the incredibly strong dialogue and pacing. We hope this play is widely read, finds dedicated collaborators, and moves swiftly towards production. #BAPF46

A super theatrical epic that explores assimilation and belonging for several generations of Chinese and Chinese American women and manages to capture three (more technically!) very unique and historically vital socio-cultural and political contexts. The throughline of witty, funny, human dialogue keeps you engaged throughout and serves to really differentiate a huge ensemble of impressively eclectic personalities. The theatrically heightened moments that punctuate each scene thematically tie together what at first might appear to be disparate moments in time. I'd love to see this funny, insightful, compelling piece realized onstage!

An absolute epic saga that spans a century. Lin has a true for making dialogue feel so natural especially when it's covering huge issues. Lots of potential for stage magic that I can't wait to see realized.
