The Vietnam-America Theatre Exchange brought A Midsummer Night's Dream to Hanoi, Saigon, and Haiphong last November. One of the Exchange's founders, Marvin Browning, is a Vietnam veteran. The group also mounted a production of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie in Vietnam. A documentary film, tentatively titled A Dream in Hanoi , was shot during the three-city Shakespeare run. Two that stand out are Eddie Adams's 1968 shot of ARVN Gen. Loan shooting a VC suspect during Tet in Saigon and John Filo's 1970 photo of the Kent State tragedy.
New additions are welcome.
In the last issue we made note of former infantryman Vincent Gabriel's noteworthy Vietnam War-influenced rock CD, 11Bravo . Copyright 2001 by the Vietnam Veterans of America. All rights reserved.
