PlayMakers Repertory Company
Directed by Robert Egan
A Haunting Search for Sanctuary
A Vietnamese boy and his family barely escape the fall of Saigon and the horrors of a Viet Cong re-education camp to become refugees, at last coming to America. A riveting journey of hardship and brutality, with a new world of gang war, hip hop and Shakespeare on the other side.
The piece includes adult language and subject matter that is best suited for patrons ages 14 and older.
Please note: This production utilizes burning incense.
“No storybook saga … a powerful tale of blistering force”
The Seattle Times
“Poignant .. [i]ts power is so sustained and undeniable, it makes so many other autobiographical forays…seem trivial by comparison.”
