Jon Chew, Tuyen Do, Molly Harris and Zheng Xi Young will star in Love You Long Time (Already), coming to Theatre503 this July.
Directed by Jennifer Tang, the play is described as a funny and moving debut by Vietnamese-American playwright Katie Đỗ. It is an intergenerational epic exploring mother and daughter relationships, migration and memory, the ties that bind us and the cost of breaking free from them.
‘I’m really trying to be in love with you but I can’t stop remembering…’
Mai didn’t expect her heaven to be reliving an engagement to an unfaithful husband. He’s becoming a Buddhist monk. Mai’s daughter Tâm is desperate to understand her mother. As time slips away and dreams overlap with reality, Mai and Tâm must learn how to love each other before heaven comes for them again.
The production’s creative team includes TK Hay (set and costume design), Cheng Keng (lighting design), Elena Peña (sound design), Dam Van Huynh (movement director), Polly Jerrold (casting director), Ellen Rey de Castro (costume supervisor) and Zoe Zimin Ho (voice and dialect coach), working in association with The Sông Collective, who are also providing cultural consultancy.
