She Kills Monsters
Qui Nguyen describes Vietgone as the "anti Miss Saigon" and that "It’s about the Asian-American characters being the ones with agency over the narrative. They’re not a prop for the typical straight-white-male lead to learn from or to save. It’s not their story. It’s our story. We get to be the heroes.”

Vietgone
Alice in Slasherland
In 1975, following the fall of Saigon, Quang and Tong, two Vietnamese refugees separated from their partners, encounter each other in Arkansas,
Young Lewis Diaz accidentally revives the spirit of Alice, a murdered girl, unleashing chaos. Now, he and his undead ally must protect their classmates from the demons terrorizing their town.
Soul Samurai is a play that follows the journey of a young girl named Dewdrop as she navigates through a Brooklyn plagued by a zombie infestation.
Vietgone
When Saigon falls in 1975, Quang and Tong, two Vietnamese refugees separated from their previous partners, meet in Arkansas that promptly becomes a no-strings-attached relationship to pass the time.
Vietgone••
Living in the land of “cheeseburgers, waffle fries and cholesterol” proves to be an intoxicating adventure that leads Quang and Tong to question their futures, both together and in their new country.
VIETGONE
Part history play and part memoir, this whip-smart comedy is punctuated with flashbacks and bursts of rap songs, all while giving unabashed reflections on American culture and offering a human-centered view of the Vietnam War and its aftermath.
