The Great Leap and Other Plays is written by Lauren Yee and published by Theatre Communications Group. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1636702198 (ISBN 10) and 9781636702193 (ISBN 13).

A collection of four stunningly imaginative plays that examine and deconstruct Asian American identity from the acclaimed writer of Cambodian Rock Band. With a sharp wit and a gift for the fantastical, Lauren Yee's plays offer unexpected and often irreverent explorations of cultural identity, family histories, and what it means to find community. In The Great Leap, a hotshot basketball player from San Francisco's Chinatown talks his way onto a college basketball team, which is set to travel to Beijing for a "friendship" game. When they arrive, however, they find a country in the throes of the late 1980s post-Cultural Revolution era--and a brewing rebellion that will soon test the tolerance of the post-Mao Communist Party. This collection also includes Ching Chong Chinaman, The Hatmaker's Wife, and King of the Yees.
