LA Times: Playwright Young Jean Lee wants to brutalize you. She wants to get in your face and make you, the audience, squirm, so that you leave the theater questioning not just what you've seen but your very existence.
"The agenda is to create a trap — for the audience and myself, so that we can't get out of whatever problem the play is wrestling with," says Lee, whose "Straight White Men" will have its West Coast premiere Sunday at the Centre Theatre Group's Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City. "I'm trying to make work people can't so easily dismiss."
