FROM APRIL 2023

Get ready to rock!

An ACT and 5th Avenue Theatre co-production of
A Signature Theatre Production
in association with Alley Theatre, Arena Stage, and Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

Psychedelic rock meets Cambodian pop in Lauren Yee's story of familial atonement and the shameless brutality of the Khmer Rouge regime.

San Francisco-born Yee has been touted as one to watch by theatre critics. Her plays, which include King of the Yees and The Great Leap, have won critical acclaim, and pundits have been quick to laud praise on Cambodian Rock Band.

What is the story?

Directed by Chay Yew, it tells the story of a young woman attempting to trace her family history 30 years after her father fled the grim rule of the Khmer Rouge, the communist-based party which not only tried to erase the music of the time but was responsible for one of the worst mass killings in modern history.

Yet in contrast to its theme, Cambodian Rock Band is fun and fast, and raises the roof with its music. Its script is slick and as its cast performs an eclectic selection of toe-tapping, tub-thumping songs by Cambodian-American band Dengue Fever, it paints a vivid and vibrant picture of the '60s and '70s Cambodian rock scene in a tale of gutsy determination, survival, and family. It is authentic, fascinating, powerful and exhilarating all at the same time.
