Inspired by a true story, we the same opens in 1979 Vietnam, where six children and a mother become separated from their father and husband as they flee their homeland by boat. Against all odds, they survive pirate attacks, typhoons, and starvation, ending up shipwrecked on a desert island. Thirty-five years pass, and the mother at last shares heartfelt secrets and an unbelievable story with her daughter, and the past is escorted into the present.

Oscillating between humour, romance, and devastation, this brave play explores the aftermath of the Vietnam War from a Vietnamese perspective. Its central themes include intergenerational healing, alienation and estrangement from peers, family relationships, and hope overcoming adversity. we the same is a powerful theatrical debut dedicated to all those who have ever been othered.
