Review: ‘Vietgone,’ a Refugee Tale with Laughs and Rap

Review: ‘Vietgone,’ a Refugee Tale with Laughs and Rap

A modern twist on the all-American love story, Qui Nguyen’s (She Kills Monsters) new play Vietgone pulses with contemporary energy. It’s the classic story of boy meets girl – except it takes place in a relocation camp inside Middle America. Vietgone ranges from hilarity to heart-wrenching drama. Nguyen and director May Adrales (Luce at LCT3) skip through time and around the globe to present a fresh theatrical take on a moving account of one real family’s history.

Vietgone is receiving wonderful reviews:
