This play is part of the much-anticipated annual Pacific Playwright Festival at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa. The play by Qui Nguyen follows up on his award-winning “Vietgone,” which recounted his parents’ hot and hilarious courtship in a Vietnamese refugee camp.
Six years later, “Poor Yella Rednecks” catches up with Tong and Quang as they settle into their new lives in Arkansas and realize the marriage isn’t as easy as it seemed. The production presents a deeply moving take on the immigrant story, told with a hip-hop edge.
