Bi-lingual English and Mandarin Edition. Mandarin translation by Yang Lijun

A group of troublesome actors arrive in a modern city. They tell the story of Ke Xin, princess of the Isle of Joy, who is always obedient until the day the sea brings to her island home a strange sailor, a raving fool without a memory, a man who will challenge everything she believes in.

A timeless tale of love, power and transformation that explores many of the key issues faced by young people today.

This was the first bilingual play in Mandarin and English produced in the UK at Leeds Playhouse theater.
