  • Bleu Beckford-Burrell: Colonialism is Terrible, But Phở is Delicious by Dustin H. Chinn

    I was able to hear this smart, funny essential play at BAPF. Dustin ability to caputure the pride and joy in food culturally and asking the questions of ownership and authorship; only opens up so much more questions about appropriation, the boundaries of appreciation of other and how easily it can cross into offense. And the murkiness you can find yourself in ownership and authorship. Great play!

    “Colonialism…” is a tripartite retrospective on the development of pho that combines Vietnamese history with incisive social commentary and a solid sprinkling of humor. Each section stands with a distinct voice, but the script shines strongest when moments from one beat amplify or reflect a prior scene—(which happens often!) The sections are a clear conversation; the triple-casting of the same four actors across all three scenes serves to exemplify the power of the piece as a whole.
