Asian American Drama: 9 Plays from the Multiethnic Landscape (Applause Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This anthology is a well-selected one.It has a wide range of plays of different styles, from romantic comedy to absurdist family drama to post-modern weirdness.In response to the reviewer (and many other critics) who say that this is not a distinctly Asian collection of plays, I say, that's mostly the point: what really separates an Asian-American playwright and a white playwright?Or the Asian-American experience against the Caucasian experience?Just what you see.

This anthology is proof positive that the Asian-American can and does do as much and as well as any other race.We are, in the end, all people experiencing the world through our own respective eyes.Maybe it just happens that a lot of people experience similar things.

The big problem, at least with the edition I read, is that there are numerous typographical errors.Sometimes a line is attributed to a character who shouldn't be in the scene.Some are misspelled (among the most egregiously, the name of Dwight Omata in the table of contents) and can be distracting to reading and, therefore, understanding the play.It is the only gripe that makes this product less than a perfect 5-star.
