Climbing the Corporate Ladder at a Cost: Four Women in Banking
TL;DR
Tim Teeman reviews Alex Lin’s Chinese Republicans at Roundabout’s Laura Pels Theater, a 2019-set satire about four Chinese American women in banking who form an affinity group to navigate racism, sexism, and the grind of climbing the corporate ladder; though the cast delivers sharp, quotable exchanges, the play remains disappointingly straight, letting ambition overpower nuance, and ends on a resonant note about white patriarchy reasserting itself.
