Lao Wai

(performed at Central China Normal University in June 1996, directed by Owen Zhou, and at Manchester's Opera House for Chinese New Year 2004, directed by Ged Neary)


A short bi-lingual comedy. Preconceptions are tested, when a young Englishwoman, new to China and unable to speak Chinese, turns up in a small-town restaurant where no-one speaks more than a few unhelpful words of English.
