What I liked

It was historically accurate, characters were layered and tiered, Paul did a great job of acting out different characters

What I didn't like

Nothing I can think of at the moment!

My overall impression

An incredibly well thought-out play, Paul combines the historical tragedies against Asian Americans with the tragedies that each of these superheroes faced. The way these two experiences are fused together with each superhero make them more complex in a way that really had me connecting with the characters on a different level. There were some Dave Chappelle-esque moments where people were laughing a little too hard at jokes that were meant to make people uncomfortable, but I think that speaks even more to the complexity of the play and how well out was thought out.

Incredible play, I can’t wait to see Paul’s next project, whatever it may be!
