In the award-winning
Vietgone, Qui Nguyen
recounted his parents’ hot and
hilarious courtship in a Vietnamese refugee
camp in 1975. Now, six years later, Tong and Quang
are building new lives in a foreign land called Arkansas. But
marriage is hard—especially when she’s having doubts and his
first one isn’t over yet. One family’s history makes for a raucously funny,
deeply moving take on the immigrant story, told with hip-hop style.

About the Playwright
Xin Chao Magazine
profile of Qui Nguyen
“Mr. Nguyen nails, rather smartly, the
dissonance of immigration, which runs both
ways—the Americans and the Vietnamese in
the play are almost always misunderstanding
one another—as well as the hegemony of
the majority over the minority, as both are
represented in the dominant culture.”
—The New York Times
