This month, Young Jean Lee will become the first Asian-American woman to have a play on Broadway when “Straight White Men,” which opens at the Hayes Theater on July 23. She has written plays about identity politics and identity crises in the lives of Asian-Americans, African-Americans, feminists and evangelicals. In “Straight White Men,” she scrutinizes what she calls the new ethnic group on the scene: straight white men. For so long simply the default humans, they now face all the indignities of life with a label. Her work is about wrongness: about being the wrong kind of man, woman, Asian; about saying the wrong thing; about getting other people wrong. What makes the new play so weird isn’t what she adds but what she takes out. The main character barely speaks. She said that the goal of the play was to spark conversations. “Identity politics saved my life,” she said. It gave her the language to understand the racism she encountered as a child growing up in small-town Washington State. But its rhetoric has curdled, she feels. “It’s like you’re good or you’re evil; you’re a queer woman of color or you’re some version of entitled privileged person,” she said. “I feel like compassion is very out right now. Curiosity is out. What’s in is condemnation and punishment. Now is not the moment for nuance; people do not want it.” @paolakudacki took this photo of #YoungJeanLee for @nytmag.
