The costumes are lavish, the set breath-takingly beautiful. As Atung, David Lee Huynh powerfully offered up a look at the character's inner life, all the while walking through his days as the "other," the non-person. He's new to the DMV and I hope to see more of his talents here. Tuyet Thi Pham is a familiar member of Everyman Theatre's repertory company. In previous outings, she's conveyed a sense of inner-strength that was never fully mined--here she let's loose the mother load. Her presentation followed the character's evolution as envisioned by Suh from innocent abroad to ultimate survivor. It was an inspired performance.
I wish there was more light in this image to reveal the richness of the woodwork on the walls.
