LA Times Critics Pick! directed with controlled spunk by May Adrales

Under the dynamic direction of May Adrales.

“

The whole Manhattan Theatre Club production, from its outstanding ensemble to its resourceful director, May Adrales, is in perfect synch with Nguyen’s deranged yet heartfelt vision.

— The New Yorker


“

“Vietgone” has many pleasures — including jazzy comic performances from an excellent cast, several in multiple roles, under May Adrales’s direction.

— The New York Times


“

Top Ten of 2016!  May Adrales’s high-octane staging moves so swiftly and surely, you may not initially appreciate the buckets of ​stagecraft she & Nguyen throw at us scene after scene. In design and pacing, the production ransacks the aesthetics of comix and grind house, applying their flashy framing & penchant for sex, drugs and violence to a dead-serious story of war, displacement & assimilation.
