About: Golden Child
Young Andrew‘s summer project to interview his grandmother about his forebears leads to an intimate revelation of her childhood in a traditional Chinese household.
We meet Andrew’s great-grandfather, a businessman returning home to China in 1918. He greets his daughter, three wives, and their traditional Confucian home with a new found interest in modern occidental culture. But much to his wives’ alarm, he has also invited a Christian missionary into their home...
Written by the Tony Award-winning playwright of M. Butterfly, Yellow Face and Broadway’s Chinglish, Golden Child examines the politics of cultural conversion at the dawn of an inter-cultural world.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. This production is supported by the New Diorama Emerging Companies Fund.
