KA-SHUE

(LETTERS HOME) Playwright Lynda Chanwai-Earle

Spanning one hundred years between China and New Zealand, three generations of the Leung family are swept across continents and time; the Second World War, the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, and the infamous buried history of the Poll Tax in New Zealand, £100 levied against Chinese migrants only (1896 to 1944). Told through the eyes of a Chinese family as they struggle to resettle in Aotearoa, Ka-Shue (Letters Home) is an epic story of love, laughter, and loss, performing for one night only. There will be a post-show talk following the performance. English / Cantonese Suitable for ages 13+ Strong language and loud sound effects
