Overview
World premiere new play
In this world premiere by Tuyết Thị Phạm, author of the acclaimed Dinner and Cake and recognized for her powerful writing on the topics of family, culture and identity, comes a new story about a mother and daughter who confront their legacy of love and loss, set against the backdrop of historical trauma. Mary, a first-generation Cambodian American, grapples with feelings of guilt, anger, and grief as she navigates her parents’ experiences and their differing beliefs as survivors of the Khmer Rouge – the radical communist movement that ruled Cambodia in the late 1970s. Their journey to reconcile the past is both painful and liberating as they find a path toward healing.
