This is an international collaboration between British & Hong Kong theatre practitioners – creating a piece of theatre that presents the universal story of migration.
It spans 100 years, journeying from the poverty of village life to the UK.
This play is in development for the stage from the book Sweet Mandarin by British-Born Chinese, Helen Tse (published by Ebury Press in 2007).
