REVIEW | Keiko Green's 'Exotic Deadly' Spices Up a Tale of Japanese Identity With Humor and Time Travel Reviewer Bri Little takes us inside "Exotic Deadly," Keiko Green’s hilarious and high-octane tale of Japanese American teenhood, cultural pride, and the MSG panic — now playing at Theatre Off Jackson.

Teen angst, MSG myths, and '90s nostalgia collide in Keiko Green's "Exotic Deadly," a funny and heartfelt play about identity and pride.

Review: MSG becomes more than a flavoring in ‘Exotic Deadly’ Keiko Green’s dark comedy examines, through a school girl’s eyes, why falsehoods can sting an entire culture.

This play does a lot of impactful work, subtly addressing many issues that impact the Asian community in powerful, infuriating ways. It's very inventive, with terrific performances and a badass soundscape. My @mercurynews.com review of #ExoticDeadly @ SF Playhouse. #hellatheatre tinyurl.com/4kuukvp5
