AUDITION NOTICE for CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND
By: Lauren Yee
Director: Jivesh Parasram
With Music Direction: Mary Ancheta

This darkly funny, electric new play with music tells the story of a Khmer Rouge survivor returning to Cambodia for the first time in 30 years, as his daughter prepares to prosecute one of Cambodia’s most infamous war criminals. Backed by a live band playing contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, this thrilling story toggles back and forth in time as father and daughter face the music of the past. This intimate rock epic about family secrets is set against a dark chapter of Cambodian history while celebrating the luminance of the once silenced music of 1970s Cambodia.
