The Shipment by Young Jean Lee
“Also, sometimes when I’m talking to someone, I realize that I’ve said something I shouldn’t have said. And that makes me feel bad. And sometimes I feel bad about it for a long time after I’ve said the bad thing. And sometimes I curse myself in my mind or even out loud.”
A Regional Premiere directed by Stan Wojewodski Jr.
June 4 – June 25, 2011 at Undermain Theatre
The Shipment is a hilarious and revealing variety show, probing the blister of race relations through multiple theatrical constructs: a stand-up comedy act, a song and dance number, a cartoonish rags-to-riches story and a naturalistic drawing room number with an uncomfortable punch-line.
Young Jean Lee had been produced once before at Undermain back in 2007 with The Appeal, a supercharged electronica take on the Romantic Poets Byron, Wordsworth, and Coleridge.
