Vivian Pham started writing her novel, The Coconut Children, when she was 16. After publishing in 2020, she was asked to convert it into a stage play. At the time, she had never watched a contemporary theatre performance. Now, it's set to be the largest production of Belvoir's season.

Set in a south-west Sydney Vietnamese-Australian community in the late 90s, the Coconut Children was inspired by her father's experience fleeing Vietnam at 17 years old.
