A young Vietnamese family attempts to put down roots in Arkansas, a place as different from home as it gets. A mom and dad balance big hopes and low-wage jobs, as old flings threaten to pull them apart. It all makes for a bumpy road to the American dream. From the world of Nguyen’s Vietgone, with its comic book and action movie influences, comes a play that melds a deeply personal story with the playwright’s trademark, killer humor.
El Dorado, Arkansas. 1980.
“Unflaggingly inventive, it’s a merry mashup of hip-hop, pop culture, cursing and kung fu [with] plenty of heart.” – Time Out New York
“A rollicking, comic book-inspired… expletive-filled fusion of hip-hop and martial arts with the soapy twists and turns of addictive serialtelevision… a crowd-tickling comedy that squashes preconceptions in order to place hearts in a vise grip… Though rooted in upheaval and tragic loss, Nguyen’s family history is presented with a delicate balance of over-the-top humor and unforced sincerity.” – The New York Times
“Funny, profound and heartbreaking... has the exuberance and abundance of a big family-reunion bash.” – New York Magazine
““Invigorating, with an emotional wallop… Once again dollops of vintage and contemporary pop culture are crucial ingredients in a playwriting brew that has the characters rap their feelings when words seem inadequate to the task.” – Los Angeles Times
“Hilariously audacious.” – Broadway World
“Nerve-tingling, guffaw-inducing romance.” – San Francisco Chronicle
