Description
Dramatic ComedyCharacters: 3 male, 1 female Vuthy Vichea is sixteen years old, Cambodian American. He loves hip hop and Dungeons and Dragons. He has thick-ass glasses. He is a weird kid in a place where weirdness can be fatal: Long Beach, California. Since his best friend moved and his mother died, the only person he can talk to is a human skull he keeps hidden in a cookie jar. Year Zero is a comedic drama about young Cambodian Americans - about reincarnation, reinvention, and ultimately, redemption. " A] tenderly observed play... These characters are cut from familiar molds, but Mr. Golamco and his appealing cast bring fresh nuances, tempering the earnestness with unassuming charm." -New York Times"A very smart, sweet, honest and uncommonly moving new play... Michael Golamco is a significant new dramatic voice." -Chicago Tribune"A delicate portrait of lost souls attempting to discover their roots and navigate awkward relationships with one another... Incisive, both dramatically and thematically, leading to a haunting and hopeful climax. Critic's Pick " -Backstage
