About the Play
Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of historical trauma, a mother and daughter confront their legacy of love and loss. Mary, a first-generation Cambodian-American, struggles with feelings of guilt, anger, and grief as she navigates her parents' experiences and their differing beliefs as survivors of the Khmer Rouge. Their journey to reconcile the past is both painful and liberating, ultimately guiding them toward a path of healing.
