Climb the corporate ladder with Chinese Republicans in New York. In the scathing new comedy, three high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades.

Alex Lin's play is more than just a critique of capitalism: it's a uproarious satire about She-E-Os and the lies we tell ourselves to keep our friends, keep our money, and keep our power. Shifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern economic structures, this world premiere production also explores themes of assimilation, intergenerational conflict, and gender politics in the workplace — all with unflinching wit, but also deep empathy.
A truly American story, Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice. Lin is a writer to watch; she's had work developed at major theatres including Roundabout, Second Stage, MTC, and the O'Neill, and she is matched well with an established director, Chay Yew, whose New York credits include the Public Theater, Playwrights Horizons, New York Theatre Workshop, and Signature Theatre. Together, they have created a searing look at how far we'll go to hold onto power, and how friends and business don't always mix.
Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama about the corporate ladder, a group of in-charge businesswomen, and the young woman who disrupts their perceptions of power and money.
Chinese Republicans is at New York's The Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, which is located at 111 West 46th Street, New York, 10036.
