Vietgone
by Qui Nguyen

"CRITICS' PICK! “Vietgone is easily the freshest, most exuberantly youthful piece I’ve seen at MTC in ages: a punch-drunk mash-up of hip-hop, road movies, sex farce and Vietnamese-American history. Oh, also kick-ass fights."

"CRITICS' PICK! “A raucous comedy by Qui Nguyen that strafes just about every subject it tackles and every character it presents... Mr. Nguyen’s fresh and impish voice rarely lets up as he thumbs his nose at our expectations."

— The New York Times, Read More

"An unlikely intermingling of family play, history play, sex farce, action flick, and cultural critique. It is overtly rollicking and sneakily moving."

— The Guardian

"CRITICS' PICK! “Vietgone careens wildly, threatening whiplash to heighten our amusement. By the end, however, this riotous theatrical cartoon won me over with its simple honesty."

— Los Angeles Times

"Vietgone rides a wave of profane irreverence, sprawling storytelling, spiky humor, bald stereotypes and in the end a searing personal testament that honors the people on whose soil the war was fought... Nguyen understands confidently that his story possesses an intrinsic weight and he doesn’t need to preach. He writes with laughter, satire, anger and profanity."
