An all-American love story about two very new Americans. It’s 1975. Saigon has fallen. He lost his wife. She lost her fiancé. But now in a new land, they just might find each other. Part cross-country road trip, part romantic comedy, Vietgone took audiences on a journey through time to reexamine a pivotal moment in American history. Playwright Qui Nguyen got up-close-and-personal to tell the story that led to the creation of ... Qui Nguyen.
