					| Description | 
  					When the play starts, it is Chinese New Year. her relatives' nagging and unwanted advice force Kah-wei o seek refuge in her room. The scenes that follow reveal the different aspects of her character, and her relationships with those around her in childhood and in adult life. The play is the result of a series of improvisational workshops in which cast and director worked on a first draft script. The result is a tightly unified work in which form and function are totally integrated. |
