    Press Quotes

    “FIGHT GIRL BATTLE WORLD, the latest lark by the proudly lowbrow Vampire Cowboys Theater Company … The playwright, Qui Nguyen, clearly knows his Star Wars, and while he has given his story a more topical update — environmental disaster and imperialism play a role — he has really nailed the stilted, jargon-rich style of writing that the saga’s creator, George Lucas, is famous for. FIGHT GIRL BATTLE WORLD dispenses with the hipster distance and indulges the embarrassing passion of an obsessed fan … It’s theater for sci-fi nerds …” —Jason Zinoman, The New York Times

    “From the refreshingly off-kilter collective known as the Vampire Cowboys Theater Company comes FIGHT GIRL BATTLE WORLD, an action-packed sci-fi saga that blends punch-ups and parody into one delicious mix. Set in a futuristic universe (surprise, surprise) where humanity is nearly non-existent, FIGHT GIRL revolves around E-V, a hardnosed prizefighter and the last known female human in the galaxy …” —Tom Fay, Show Business Weekly

    “… Qui Nguyen’s script is dotted with spiky humor and … politically tinged jokes …” —Ron Cohen, Backstage

    Play Description

    SPACE CORPS is a multi-billion dollar science-fiction film franchise that has fallen upon hard times. After a zeitgeist-defining first three chapters the most recent entries in the series have proven lackluster, a crime for which most SPACE CORPS fans hold franchise creator and director Bruce Glover responsible. Married couple Gina and Stanley, a pair of SPACE CORPS superfans, decide that in order to keep Bruce from doing further damage to the series they adore they must kidnap him and lock him in their basement until someone else can take over the franchise and return it to glory. What they did not anticipate was that Bruce would end up living in their basement for nine long years, throwing the lives of the couple and their son into disarray. Over the course of those nine years one question arises time and again: who rightfully claims ownership to a work of art, the artist who created it or the fans who love it?

    This witty and passionate play explores the story of a man with Alzheimer’s and at the same time turns into “a travel guide to Middle America conducted by aliens from outer space.” The play has a wonderful comic sensibility, but this is a chillingly painful play addressing postmodern society’s collective nervous breakdown.
