Reviews / Votes
A rhythmic and expansive piece of theatre which showcases the best of (often underestimated) British East Asian talent... there is a core of tenderness and generosity to York Loh's writing. It's an ornately layered epic which manages to carry itself delicately despite the righteous fury which rumbles beneath the surface. This is a play which demonstrates an acutely raw understanding of how Western institutions exploit and grind non-white bodies to the bone.' ???? * The Stage *More details
