A vibrantly theatrical, funny, and timely play. The characters were easy to root for and I found myself instantly invested. I really appreciate how the human need for food took center stage in a story exploring the implications of corporate AI. The playwright's emphasis its connection to Vietnamese culture, ancestry, and spirituality makes for some incredible moments, including a noodle you can climb to the moon! A wonderful read.

This is such a vivid play. I absolutely love it! The themes of gentrification are there and are felt but not in the typical way. There is a great mix of fantasy sci sfy, and realism. This is the type of play that gets me excited about theatre and reminds me why I love this medium so much.

A funny, sincere, outrageous, and epic exploration of Vietnamese ancestry that occurs when the owners of a pho restaurant realize that their world is simulated by a corporation eager to gentrify the neighborhood – but one of the waiters falls in love with the AI avatar sent to take over the restaurant. I was hooked the moment a giant noodle slurped up into the ceiling. A blend of spirituality, sci-fi, and romance through brave, wild, and hilarious characters, all within the context of Vietnamese/Hmong culture and history. #BiBRadiance2021
