Vietgone January 25 - February 18, 2018 Where: Lyceum Space By Qui Nguyen Directed by Jesca Prudencio Set Design by Justin Humphres Costume Design by Anastasia Pautova Lightind Design by Bo Tindell Sound Design by Melanie Chen Cole Dramaturgy by Jim Short Assistant Direction by Christine Nathanson Stage Management by Heather Brose Cast Ben Levin as Quang Katherine Ko as Tong Lawrence Kao as Nhan/Khue/Asian Guy/American Guy Shaun Tuazon as Playwright/Bobby/Hippie Dude/Redneck Biker/Giai Emy Coligado as Huong/Flower Girl/Thu/American Girl/Translator This is the story of how Quang meets Tong, how they flee from Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War, fall in love in a refugee camp in Arkansas, take a life changing road trip across 1970’s America and eventually give birth to a playwright named Qui Nguyen (who happens to have written this play). This love story is like no other. Told through the eyes of a very contemporary young American who loves pop culture, this sexy comedy is a mash-up of comic books, hip-hop, martial arts and Hollywood action movies. Acclaimed as one of the most innovative playwrights in the country, author Nguyen embraces two cultures and two time periods using a uniquely infectious style that The New York Times calls “culturally savvy comedy.” About the Show “A raucous, immensely moving comedy.” - The New York Times “★★★★! High-energy triumph!” - The Guardian "Riotous and simply honest." - LA Times “Where else can you get a new perspective on America fighting the Vietnam War mixed with ninjas, rap, motorcycles, sex, profanities and lots and lots of love? Vietgone is a blast and is a perfect antidote to today’s anti-other rhetoric.” –Kim Heil, Associate Producer Note: Vietgone is told with explicit language.
