‘Cambodian Rock Band’: Dengue Fever and acclaimed Berkeley playwright Lauren Yee team up on play with music that explores Cambodia’s tragic past.
He also says that it was amazing to see how the play evolved on its way to opening night.
“It was good from the start, but Lauren didn’t just do little tiny brush strokes of changes for each rewrite,” says Holtzman. “They were huge dramatic rewrites each time. Holtzman has gotten to see “Cambodian Rock Band” a number of times since it opened in 2018 at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa and always pays particular attention to the music being played onstage.
“I told him that he needed to leave his guitar out — leave it in the kitchen or something. Don’t ever put it in its case and put it away. So every time you are waiting for a pot of water to boil, pick it up and just noodle around.”“We try to hook up when we can and play a regular Dengue Fever show in the same town when the play is going on,” he says. “It makes for really super fun nights. We usually go and check out the play and sometimes they call us to join them up onstage at the ending.
