Bike Wreck by Qui Nguyen

"Bike Wreck, Qui Nguyen's jauntily violent urban tale about an African-American bike messenger and a Chinese deliveryman, [shows] how their paths tragicomically intersect with that of an arrogant businessman. Besides jokes about race, class and gentrification, Nguyen glosses the gritty pulp with philosophical depth."

"Nguyen's hilarious and on-target comedy involves a triangle whose points are familiar to anybody with even a passing acquaintance with downtown Manhattan. Bike Wreck is about the economic food chain of modern life, and also about racism and stereotyping; Nguyen and his actors fearlessly exploit the racial profiles that we're generally unwilling to admit we carry around in our heads, making us both laugh at and confront the thoughtless, superficial bigotry that pervades any multicultural community. Bike Wreck is funny and scary: a cautionary tale that pokes holes in our assumptions about ourselves and each other with panache, wit, and intelligence."

"An intimate and warmly humane evening of theater, well worth your attention."

"Bike Wreck is absolutely riveting theater. The dialogue from Nguyen shines. If Bike Wreck isn't already slated to be its own full-length or part of a larger collection, it should be fast-tracked in that direction immediately. These characters leap off the stage and entangle the audience in their story -- it is a testament to all of the artists involved."
