Notes: | Original Playwright - Wang Xiaoli | |||||
The first modern Chinese play to be seen in Britain, in an English version by Ronan O'Donnell first seen at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. Translated, the Mandarin phrase 'In the Bag' means 'safe and secure' as well as 'trapped and contained'. Hard-edged but tender, In the Bag explores, through the relationships of two couples, a culture torn between its history and its contemporary reality. | ||||||
