“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,

“…Qui
Nguyen’s script is dotted with spiky humor and…politically tinged jokes….”
