A Word In Your Ear Presents.. Little Potatoes

Bittersweet comedy-drama set in China about marriage, mothers, and family planning.

Doors open at 7pm. Licensed bar available.

 

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]

The Red Court

Rapscallion Theatre presents… THE RED COURT

THE RED COURT tells the story of a real-life 21st century Chinese Macbeth. The play meshes Shakespeare’s tragedy with a story of scandal, corruption and murder that rocked China and gripped the world.

In 2011, China’s Premier-in-waiting was popular, charismatic and very ambitious. His rise to power seemed unstoppable.  Behind him stood a ruthless wife, a British fixer and a fortune-teller who had predicted his destiny. What could possibly go wrong?

The Red Court is the winner of a national playwriting competition run by the Confucius Institute at Sheffield University. It appears at the Rondo prior to a tour to China.

The Red Court incorporates elements of Chinese theatre, and is performed in Rapscallion’s signature theatrical and energetic style.
