評論節錄:
“With over 30 original works to date, Lai is perhaps the foremost representative of modern Chinese-language theater, a renegade with a penchant for anticipating and reshaping contemporary trends. Working to blur the distinction between popular and avant-garde forms of expression, he has earned commercial and critical acclaim in both his native country and the worldwide theater community, writing and directing stage productions that combine Eastern cultural sensibilities with Western experimental approaches.”

“the 2008 historical family epic "The Village" ("Baodao Yicun"). Telling the story of three families over three generations of history beginning with the Taiwan diaspora in 1949, the play focuses on the shifting cultural contexts that helped shape the nature of contemporary Taiwanese society.”
“Throughout his storied career, Lai has succeeded in breaking new ground in both Chinese and international theater.”
“Lai navigated the discourse beyond the art of theater and through a wealth of other subjects: East and West, past and present, shifting cultural contexts, urban modernity and its effect on the progression of contemporary life and art. But through it all, he emphasized the beauty of improvisation, invoking the spirit of jazz as an analogous medium for the perpetual vitality of similar creative endeavors.”
