Hi Theatre Deli friends!
I am Diana, a Taiwanese Canadian theatre maker. This year I'm brining a one woman show "Don't Call Me China Doll" to Edinburgh Fringe debuting at Underbelly Bristol Square, running for the whole of August, with 2 London Preview at the Omnibus theatre on the 15th and 22nd of July!!
"Don't Call Me China Doll" explores the intricacies of internalised racism and self-worth. A compelling exploration of identity, discrimination, and progress, it prompts audiences to reflect on how and why East Asians face the same biases as they did a century ago.
As she prepares for the audition of a lifetime—playing Anna May Wong in a biopic about Hollywood’s first East Asian starlet—China Doll must confront and untangle the ingénue’s legacy as she discovers astonishing parallels between them and the ways they navigate love, life, and identity as East Asian actors in the west.
