Press Reviews

"A seventeen-year-old Vietnamese-American girl raised by wealthy adoptive parents in the United States, journeys into the towering Redwood forests of Northern California in search of the natural father she lost after the Vietnam War. ”[Lanford Wilson's] most powerful [play] since TALLEY'S FOLLY…a state-of-the-nation piece for the early 1990s…enormous wit and compassion…a real yarn with a satisfying old-fashioned mousetrap of a plot.“ —The New York Times. ”…a fascinating, suspenseful yarn."
