Exploring subjects such as cultural identity, the fragmentation of communities, tradition, invisibility and discrimination, these plays are ideal to perform.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith an introduction by academics Dr Amanda Rogers and Dr Ashley Thorpe which sets the plays into context and explores the hidden history of theatre from BEA theatre-makers.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a timely collection, being published within months of the opening of three plays by British East Asian playwrights in the UK, and a growing awareness in the mainstream press that East Asians in British theatre are under-represented. As Daniel York Loh writes: \"British East Asians were effectively side-lined in any debate on diversity in theatre where the general establishment view tends towards a binary black\/white... which seems to exclude large swathes of the Asian continent.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe seven plays in the anthology are:Bound Feet Blues by Yang-May OoiThe Last Days of Limehouse by Jeremy TiangJamaica Boy by Stephen HooSpecial Occasions by Amy NgConversations with my Unknown Mother by Lucy Chau Lai-TuenTango by Joel TanThe Fu Manchu Complex by Daniel York Loh","brand":"Aurora Metro Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53634799927638,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781912430086_1.jpg?v=1778668186","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/cheryl-robson-british-east-asian-plays-9781912430086","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
