'One of the most inexplicably pleasurable experiences of my
theatergoing life... A goofily grim and oddly uplifting meditation
by one of the most restlessly experimental - and wildly
entertaining - writer-directors working in the theater today.'
*Vogue*
'Young Jean Lee is, hands down, the most adventurous downtown
playwright of her generation... A combination of pop concert and
autobiographical lament for the human condition, We're Gonna Die's
forthright acknowledgment that life can be a rough business is
bracing, funny, and, yes, consoling.'
*New York Times*
