China Doll

Marjorie Chan
China Doll, Marjorie Chan's first play for the stage, takes the ancient Chinese practice of foot-binding as its central image. For almost a thousand years, until outlawed in 1911, it was the fashion for women to bind their female children's feet to deliberately deform their growth. The most desirable "lotus feet" fit into "lotus shoes" -- only three to four inches long. In China Doll, foot-binding becomes an all too obvious symbol for the forces of hierarchy, patriarchy and tradition that constrain all people of Imperial China, but most particularly women.
