Description

Money can't buy love, but £19.99/month can get you a mail-order bride directly from the wasteland of Asian stereotypes. Follow her journey as she strives to become unforgettable, but what lies beneath her shiny surface? And how is she forced to transform, destroy and rebuild herself in order to survive? An irreverent, no-holds-barred, bouffonesque myth about the violence our culture inflicts on bodies of colour. Winner of the Pleasance's Charlie Hartill Fund, Best Show (Offies, 2021) and Best Performer in a Play (The Stage Debut Awards, 2022). 'A stand-out show' ***** (Stage). 'Beautiful' **** (BroadwayBaby.com).

Amazing show. Deeply uncomfortable at times, but not without good cause to be. Laughed, cringed, made me think. Recommend.
