It’s Christmas Eve, and Ed has gathered his three adult sons to celebrate with matching pajamas, trash-talking, and Chinese takeout. But when a question they can’t answer interrupts their holiday cheer, they are forced to confront their own identities. Obie Award-winning playwright Young Jean Lee takes a hilariously ruthless look at the classic American father-son drama. This is one white Christmas like you've never seen before.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Straight White Men
‘Straight White Men’ review: Young Jean Lee’s milestone comedy underwhelms
5 / 10
There is no character development or plot, besides a handful of guys sitting around on a couch. As their father looks on, the three young men play games (including a retooled version of 'Monopoly' created by their mother), joke around (breaking into a parody version of the title song of 'Oklahoma!') and strut around in matching pajamas.
Review: Armie Hammer and the Quiet Satire of ‘Straight White Men’
7 / 10
However, Lee's wider point about privilege is sharply made. Straight White Men proposes that this privilege does not have to be enacted in a viciously spoken word, or an active and overt act of discrimination or cultural mastery. It can simply be a powerful silent presumption, and in the aimless Matt Straight White Men satirically toys with what the rejection of that presumption may mean.
