NEW YORK PREMIERE: Guitars tuned. Mic checked. Get ready to rock! This darkly funny, electric new play with music tells the story of a Khmer Rouge survivor returning to Cambodia for the first time in thirty years, as his daughter prepares to prosecute one of Cambodia's most infamous war criminals. Backed by a live band playing contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, this thrilling story toggles back and forth in time as father and daughter face the music of the past. Directed by Chay Yew, the New York premiere of this intimate rock epic about family secrets is set against a dark chapter of Cambodian history. It launches Steinberg Award-winning playwright Lauren Yee’s Residency 5.
Cambodian Rock Band has received the Harold and Mimi Steinberg New Play Award, the Whiting Award, and the Horton Foote Prize. Lauren draws inspiration for her plays from sources across the globe, finding humor and humanity in the most unexpected places.
Cambodian Rock Band is showing February 4 through March 22, 2020.
