Chinese New Year's Eve is when families get together, eat like gluttons and sweep the house clean of any bad-luck issues before the New Year. Unfortunately for the Chen family, there are a LOT of issues.
Henry is a broken man, consumed by memories of war and immigration. His children Jen and Ken are still struggling to figure out who they are. And his wife Rose, who walked out of their lives a year ago, reappears just in time for dinner…
Written by emerging NZ-Chinese playwright Renee Liang and featuring an all-Chinese cast, Lantern is not a play about being Asian, or even about being Kiwi-Asian. It's a play about what it means to be family.
See the play that sold out its debut season at Smackbang Theatre (Auckland) in 2008!
Starring Li-Ming Hu (Shortland Street) and Andy Wong (No.2, The Tattooist)
Directed by Tony Forster
Written by Renee Liang
