Trade Review“
Jar of Fat immediately grabbed my attention. Seayoung Yim’s voice was incredibly strong and especially fun. This play felt radical, but also simply so honest that it couldn’t be ignored.”—Rachel Lynett, author of
Apologies to Lorraine Hansberry (You Too, August Wilson)“Seayoung Yim is a force to be reckoned with.”—Lauren Yee, playwright
“A stunning achievement. Seayoung Yim has written a wickedly witty, profoundly poetic, and moving theatrical play. At the end of the play, the only word I uttered was ‘wow.’”—Chay Yew, author of
Porcelain and
A Language of Their Own“Jar of Fat is such a terrific adventure. Hilarious and disturbing, brutal and tender. Seayoung Yim is a major new talent.”—Lloyd Suh, playwright
“Seayoung Yim knows the ugliness of beauty and the beauty of ugliness. Rejoice, for the glorious, riotous Jar of Fat is here to slap us awake and lead us all into the wild, fat lives we deserve.” —Jess McLeod, director
