Sassy, fierce and very funny β an incisive new comedy from award winning writer Michelle Law. Step into the after-hours of a suburban Chinese restaurant and meet a family of whip smart women who are definitely talking about you in their native tongue. At the Golden Phoenix, a restaurant on the Sunshine Coast, the last customers have left for the night, and Pearl can unwind. Enter her daughters: Zoe, in the throes of online dating, making big life decisions.
And Mei, a teenager, grappling with her identity in modern Australia. Of course they see the world differently to their mother. Pearl is the classic hilarious onslaught of embarrassing observations, constantly questioning her Westernised children. Tonight she reveals a secret that threatens to tear their family apart. This work was developed with the assistance of the Lotus Playwriting Project, an initiative of Playwriting Australia and Contemporary Asian Australian Performance formerly Performance 4a.
The premiere season was supported by Philip Bacon Galleries. Its story embraces us all. It is a work that any Australian theatre company would be proud to produce. From Hello Kitty to Pauline Hanson, the play tackles racial stereotypes, family and romance on the Sunshine Coast with sensitivity and humour. Skip to main content. AU All of Australia.
