When an American college basketball team travels to Beijing for a friendship game in the post-Cultural Revolution 1980s, both countries try to tease out the politics behind this newly popular sport. Cultures clash as the Chinese coach tries to pick up moves from the Americans and Chinese-American player Manford spies on his opponents. Inspired by events in her own fathers life, Yee applies a devilishly keen satiric eye toher generation (and its parents).
A beautiful play with vibrant characters and rich history crackling with fresh dialog. -BROADWAY WORLD
