Recenzii

You for Me for You . . . is a dizzying, sometimes surreal tale . . . endlessly creative in its approach to contrasting two impossibly different cultures . . . Chung's real-world-inspired fable both dazzles and repels, revealing the ugliness buried in both very different cultures. But in one, she suggests, there's the chance of the most entrancing fairy tale of all: a future.
superbly disorientating drama . . . a fascinating, freewheeling affair
"Magical realism", Mia Chung's description of its genre, doesn't begin to do justice to the distinctiveness and distinction of her play. Eschewing documentary reportage, the Korean-American dramatist takes us on a brilliantly imaginative journey . . .
You For Me For You gives us a fresh perspective . . .
part-twisted fairytale, part Alice in Wonderland: a grotesque, disturbing and . . . startlingly vivid fever dream in which the fear, deprivation and paranoia of life in a totalitarian state collide violently with rampant western consumerism. . . . there's an astringent wit beneath Chung's bombardment of sly satire and sinister, surreal images . . . Chung toys cleverly with our expectations so that we often feel almost as helpless as the sisters . . . Striking
thrillingly strange and endearingly mad
