Don't mess with a Chinese grandma.

Written by Alex Lin  
Directed by Joshua Kahan Brody   

When a high-rise developer threatens to tear down or buy out A-Poh's successful Chinatown restaurant, the martyr-complex matriarch gathers her three precious grandchildren from all corners of the country to plan their next mode of attack. There's just one problem: A-Poh's memory is rapidly  fading. What follows is a chaotic journey through reality, myth and magic as A-Poh travels through now and the great beyond as a last-ditch effort to preserve what's left of her family, legacy and sanity. A caustic and imaginative spin on Lear in response to the NYC Chinatown Mega Jail. 

A conversation with the artists follows the performance.
