HereWeAre Season 2 Episode 1 with Lauren Yee / by Francesca McKenzie

Francesca is now a co-Host of the HereWeAre podcast. Check out her first interview with playwright Lauren Yee. Just before the pandemic, Lauren Yee’s CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND—winner of the Horton Foote Prize—ranked among the top ten most produced plays in America. To kick off the second season of the HereWeAre Spotlight podcast, Yee joins fellow San Franciscan Francesca Fernandez to explore the complexities of "Americanism." They discuss how her latest work, MOTHER RUSSIA, marks a return to a communist setting, fuelled by Yee’s signature sharp and brilliantly witty humour.
