[Audience responses to Little Potatoes, Edinburgh, 2018]

 

When Liuyang pins her daughter’s CV on an umbrella in a Shanghai Park, she expects questions about salary, job prospects and her daughter’s property portfolio. What she does not expect is to have to re-live her traumatic experiences under China’s One-Child Policy, and to face disturbing new realities.   

 

Playing multiple-roles two talented performers create a fast-paced narrative presenting the realities and repercussions of state controlled birth control. 

 

Michelle Wen Lee and Sarah Curwen bring years of experience and emotional depth to their roles, as they take two women’s stories onto the stage. 

 

Little Potatoes is written by Clare Reddaway, directed by Bryn Holding, performed by Michelle Wen Lee and Sarah Curwen. It is an A Word In Your Ear production. 

 

Trigger warning: themes of abortion and adoption.

 

Running time: 60 minutes
