Abstract: The popular Beijing Duck House in Rockville, Maryland has been serving devoted regulars for decades, but behind the staff's professional masks simmer tensions, heartaches and grudges from decades of gruelling service work. When Duck House manager Jimmy Han tries to sell his father's old restaurant to move to a more upscale location, these conflicts are set loose, testing the bonds of this working family. Number One Chinese Restaurant is an exuberant and wise multigenerational debut from a brilliant new writer.
