Beschreibung
First collection of full-length plays from British East Asian playwrights, including: Yang-May Ooi, Jeremy Tiang, Stephen Hoo, Amy Ng, Lucy Chau Lai-Tuen, Joel Tan and Daniel York Loh. A landmark collection of contemporary full-length plays by British East Asian writers. Exploring subjects such as cultural identity, the fragmentation of communities, tradition, invisibility and discrimination, these plays are ideal to perform. With an introduction by academics Dr Amanda Rogers and Dr Ashley Thorpe which sets the plays into context and explores the hidden history of theatre from BEA theatre-makers. This is a timely collection, being published within months of the opening of three plays by British East Asian playwrights in the UK, and a growing awareness in the mainstream press that East Asians in British theatre are under-represented. As Daniel York Loh writes: "British East Asians were effectively side-lined in any debate on diversity in theatre where the general establishment view tends towards a binary black/white. which seems to exclude large swathes of the Asian continent. " The seven plays in the anthology are:Bound Feet Blues by Yang-May Ooi The Last Days of Limehouse by Jeremy Tiang Jamaica Boy by Stephen Hoo Special Occasions by Amy Ng Conversations with my Unknown Mother by Lucy Chau Lai-Tuen Tango by Joel Tan The Fu Manchu Complex by Daniel York Loh
