'Young Jean Lee's Untitled Feminist Show is one of the more moving and imaginative works I have ever seen on the American stage... what makes it so transcendent is its delicious ability to alternate the pain of being different with a sense of humor about lives not lived among the status quo' * New Yorker * 'The twisty, turbulent, argumentative work of Young Jean Lee...will make you flinch, but it's hard to look away... Lee has always been interested in exposing how we perform our identities. But in Straight White Men, she drills into something more core. Shuck off, subvert, cleave to your gender or race all you like, but a universal horror of weakness remains - a collective orientation toward status, power, control' * New York Times *
