This action-packed samurai play, set inside the halls of an all-American high school, tells the tale of Emi Edwards, a high school geekgurl fighting to overthrow the cruel shoguns of her school. But will Emi's own cravings for popularity and power corrupt her quest to save the school? Will she be able to establish a new world order? Or will violence just beget more violence?
"We can't wait to share another rock 'em sock 'em good time with Lansing audiences," says Ixion Artistic Director jeff croff. "This is the third of his scripts we have produced; the prior two were filled with pop culture references, stage combat and a serious dose of nerd humor and this one is no exception. It has been fun to see the faces of some of the cast that haven't done a Nguyen script as they realize all the references and all the humor."
Qui Nguyen is a screenwriter, director, playwright, and Co-Founder of the OBIE-winning Vampire Cowboys. He and his work, known for its use of pop-culture, stage violence, puppetry, and multimedia, has been called "Culturally Savvy Comedy", "Tour de Force Theatre", and “Infectious Fun” by the NY Times, TimeOut, and Variety.
Qui's currently with Walt Disney Animation Studios where he wrote Raya and the Last Dragon and wrote/co-directed Strange World. Other TV/Film includes Dispatches from Elsewhere (AMC), The Society (Netflix), Incorporated (SyFy), Peg+CAT (PBS), and Marvel Studios.
