Comedic solo show about a mask-making project recalls the unsettling early days of Covid outbreak.
Kristina Wong recalls a mask-masking project on which she embarked with friends and relatives during the early days of Covid in “Sweatshop Overlord.”Just call her the Don Corleone of elastic. That’s one of the many cheeky titles proudly worn by the master of the quirky quip behind “Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord.”
Wong lionizes the efforts of her posse of Asian aunties and other progressive pals who banded together to sew masks to protect folks against the plague. The government wasn’t riding to the rescue anytime soon so Wong stepped up to do her damnedest. A Pulitzer nominated play, “Sweatshop” urges us to relive the trauma of the past few years and wonder whether the scars will ever entirely fade. Wong jokes about trigger warnings but it’s true there are many issues here that may touch raw nerves.
The shelter in place period may now seem like a bad dream but the missed funerals, weddings and graduations still sting. The generation of children bruised by school closures may never quite be the same, some experts fear. Certainly many worry that the rise in anti-Asian sentiment is here to stay.
