“Fresh and impish... a raucous comedy by Qui Nguyen that strafes just about
every subject it tackles and every character it presents.” – The New York Times
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.” – Time Out New York, 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, Read More
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
“Vietgone makes you believe that epic tales of heroism and loss exist all around us in this nation of immigrants.” – TheaterMania, Read More
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, Read More
“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.” – The Star Tribune, Read More
