A pacy two-hander that provides a window into a terrifying period of Chinese history. --London Theatre
Two penniless actresses meet at auditions for a production of Ibsen's A Doll's House in Shanghai--and they quickly become inseparable.
As political upheaval rips through China, their tumultuous friendship will alter not only the course of their lives, but the course of history. One will become China's first female theatre director. The other, the architect of the Cultural Revolution.
Amy Ng's Shanghai Dolls tells the untold true story of two of the most influential women in Chinese history--Madame Mao and Sun Weishi--and how the personal truly is political.
