FROM SHORE TO SHORE

Three stories, three lives, three journeys to find a place to call home.

三个故事，三种人生，三段旅程，只为找到家。

Cheung Wing is escaping from war, Mei Lan’s had enough of the potato peeler and Yi Di wants the impossible; her parents’ approval.  Taking place over a delicious two-course meal, From Shore to Shore blends English, Mandarin and Cantonese to tell the stories of migrant Chinese communities living in the UK.

Award-winning writer Mary Cooper and multilingual collaborator M.W. Sun have woven these tales of love and loss, struggle and survival into a powerful drama told alongside great food and live music.

Ticket prices includes a two course meal taking place at Yang Sing Restaurant, 34 Princess Street, Manchester M1 4JY. (Vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free options available)
