Albert and Jennifer Chen were at the pinnacle of academic achievement. But now they suck at adult life. So they do what any reasonable egghead brother and sister would do: go on an Asian Freedom Tour! From California to Shenzen, TIGER STYLE! examines the successes and failures of tiger parenting from the point of view of a playwright who’s actually been through it.
