with ‘Vietnamese Lullaby’
By ROB NEWBERRY
“Vietnamese Lullaby,” a one-act
play being presented this month at
AnNam Tea House, will do anything
but put you to sleep. Each Tuesday
and Thursday night in November,
Thanh C. Nguyen, owner of the res
taurant, plans to perform this in
tense short drama.
Nguyen wrote the play, himself.
“It’s about an experience in Viet
nam,” Nguyen said. “Most of it is
based on a true story.”
The play is a one-man show and
deals with the tribulations of a Viet
namese poet after the effects of the
war. In the 25-minute monologue,
the actor recalls his feelings about an
abusive father, his mother’s death in
the Tet offensive and the unending
“madness of the bombs.”
The consistent peace that the poet
finds throughout the play, however,
is in the lullaby that his mother sang
when fie was a child.
Nguyen performs with sincerity
and feeling. As he recounts the times
his father was angry with him or his
confusion during the bombings, the
restaurant becomes a maddened
household or a chaotic street in a city
torn with war.
But the play is not too emotional.
Nguyen’s part includes some
thoughtful poetry readings, as well
as some intellectual insight into the
problems created by the war in Viet
nam.
Theater Review
Nguyen says lie will also be per
forming his other play “The Blaci
Sheep” later this year. “It isastoryo:!
a reunion of two people in the war
an American soldier and a Vietnam
ese Ixiy, ' .Nguyen explains. "Wher
the boy < <>intnwto America later,bf
sees a sign tluiLsays, -Will workfd
food. Help a tbriner vet.**
“Both of the characters have emo
tional scars, and in their 40-minuit
time togethei on the stage, they help
each other to heal them,” Ngyyer
said.
AnNam Tea House hopes :
bring College Station more thar
Nguyen’s own work howevet. |
“VVe would like to make thisplaa
into a center for visual and perfora
ing arts,” Nguyen said. “We haveil
Wednesday night open mike thatii
similar in structure to Coffeehousei
and on November 17, we are havinft;
some writers from Austin come to
read their poetry.”
This month’s performances o:
“Vietnamese Lullaby” are definitel
worth a Tuesday or Thursday eve
ning. And even if the Viet nan. cor.
flict is twenty years in the past, the>
permanent problems created lorthf
actor in the play will make you take
another serious look at situation:
like those in Saudi Arabia today.
