Reviews:

Link to James Bartholomeusz of The Public Reviews 

“Golden Child is a stellar historical piece with important modern relevance.”

Link to Greg Jameson of Entertainment Focus

“The design of Golden Child is simple and effective, where the aesthetics are heightened by some beautiful projections onto the white fabric set. The performances are solid, though it’s Lourdes Faberes as ‘first wife’ Siu Yong who is especially impressive, comfortable with both the comic and tragic elements of her character.

Golden Child emerges as a skilfully-told story that engages the emotions as well as the brain.”

Link to Aline Waites of Remote Goat 

“Director Ng Choo Ping gives the play sympathetic direction as a fascinating window into a nation’s past.”

 THE LONDON PREMIERE OF GOLDEN CHILD

PIC of David Henry Hwangby David Henry Hwang

NEW DIORAMA THEATRE

with

Director Ng Choon Ping

& Designer Moi Tran

2-12 October 2013

Eng Tieng Bin returns home to his daughter and his three wives after three years away on business. He brings a newfound interest in ‘occidental’ culture to their traditional Confucian household – with a Christian missionary as a guest.

Golden Child is a gripping and entertaining tale about a Chinese family caught between traditional values and the modern world.

Written by the Tony Award-winning playwright of M. Butterfly, Yellow Face and Chinglish, Golden Child examines the politics of cultural conversion at the dawn of an intercultural world.

Award-winning Ng Choon Ping directs a strong team of East Asian talent led by Jacqueline Chan. Designer Moi Tran creates a poignant contemporary set which brings early 1900s China into the 21st century.

 

“Hwang has gotten hold of a great subject, and he’s a vigorous writer. “Golden Child” has some of the crude storytelling energy of a potboiler or mini-series — a coarse narrative vitality” Washington Post
