The Leonard Lopate Show | Nov 21, 2016

Actors Jennifer Ikeda, Raymond Lee, and Samantha Quan join us to discuss the Manhattan Theatre Club’s New York premiere of “Vietgone,” a new play by Qui Nguyen. It tells the story of two Vietnam War refugees who settle in a relocation camp in Middle America and fall in love, based on the playwright’s own parents’ meeting. 

"Vietgone" is at Manhattan Theatre Club's City Center Stage I (131 W. 55th Street) through December 4th.
