Vietgone at Boston Center for the Arts

Qui's parents always told him they fell in love at first sight - but really, it was just a hook-up. After the fall of Saigon. In a refugee camp. In Arkansas. A kinda-true love story with a hip-hop heart, Vietgone is a hilarious ride from Marvel Studios writer Qui Nguyen, who mixes music and memory to pin down his own origin story. "Exuberantly youthful ... 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).
