Pork Filled Productions presents a staged reading of Qui Nguyen's THE INEXPLICABLE REDEMPTION OF AGENT G, Friday, June 29 at 7:30 pm in The Auditorium at UHeights.
It’s been 10 years since Agent G has last been in Vietnam where his family and friends were all viciously slain. He’s now come back looking for answers and a good bit of revenge, however, forces are at hand trying to stop him as well as the playwright from finishing this brutal task…|
AND….It’s also about playwright Qui Nguyen writing about a playwright named Qui Nguyen, struggling to tell his family’s story. He may have found it, too (check out Vietgone in August). But first…he’s going to have to do a rap battle with David Henry Hwang, the planet’s greatest Asian American playwright….
“Qui Nguyen’s play is an ambitious entertainment about modern identity wrapped inside an exploitation drama about what used to be called the `inscrutable Orient’. It gleefully mocks countless movies. In an impressive feat, the Vampire Cowboys become serious without giving up any of their silliness. A Critic’s Pick!”
