From Shore To Shore / Piao Yang Guo Hai To Be Performed In Chinese Restaurants Around The UK

After a successful sold-out tour in 2017, Mary Cooper and M.W. Sun’s revealing and poignant play, From Shore to Shore/Piao Yang Guo Hai is set to return for a national tour from March 2019. Weaving together three moving stories drawn from different generations of British Chinese communities, From Shore to Shore/Piao Yang  Guo  Hai offers a chance to connect with, understand, and reflect upon the Chinese experience in the UK.

Staged in Chinese restaurants, featuring live music, three languages, and accompanied by a two course Chinese meal, the play will start its tour at the Yang Sing Restaurant in Manchester from the 9 -16 March and then tour ‘til 6 April. Food and its relationship to love and survival are important themes in the play and the restaurant setting enhances these connections.

Directed by Yellow Earth’s co- founder and former Artistic Director David K S Tse (Song Unsung, Southbank, Running the Silk Road Barbican and King Lear, RSC), From Shore to Shore spans a century of Chinese history through stories of love and loss, struggle and survival – Cheung Wing is escaping from war, Mei Lan’s had enough of the potato peeler, and Yi Di wants the impossible; her parents’ approval.

       

Director David K S Tse, said: “Directing From Shore to Shore is both an exciting challenge and a risky venture. The ambition and scale of the storytelling, spanning 76 years, three languages and touring to non-theatre spaces across the UK, requires a versatile, hard-working cast, creative and production team. The sold-out show was well received 2 years ago, moving and entertaining new audiences, both Chinese and Western. As we prepare for a spring 2019 tour with a new cast & team, we anticipate exciting times ahead!”

From Shore to Shore’s  cast will include Ozzie Yue, Michelle Yim, Luna Dai, Vinna Law, Alice Lee, Windson Liong  and Alex Chang. The cast will be joined by musician and composer Nicola Chang (STOMP! cast member and composer for Finishing the Picture, Finborough Theatre).
