Little Potatoes Matchmaking mums at the Shanghai marriage market hatch a plan to get their Little Emperors hitched. Little Potatoes is a powerful, bittersweet comedy-drama which explores the impact of the one-child policy on the lives of two women in China. Playing multiple-roles two talented performers create a fast-paced narrative presenting the realities and repercussions of state controlled birth control. Bath-based A Word in Your Ear performed Little Potatoes to great acclaim in January at the Arcola Theatre, London. “Michelle Wen Lee and Sarah Curwen shine… a highlight with its sensitive treatment of matchmaking mothers.” [ayoungertheatre.com]
