The Guerillas of Powell Street
by Rody Vera
July 10 to August 2, 2014

 Fifty years after they fought alongside the Americans during World War II, Filipino veterans in the twilight of their lives find themselves in a cable car station in Powell Street. They are thousands of miles away from home, instead of "sitting under a mango tree, drinking beer and eating sitsaron" they wait vainly for the benefits promised to them. They all share a common desire; the chance for their body to be buried in their homeland.

Yellow Earth (London, Great Britain)
The Last Days of Limehouse
by Jeremy Tiang
 Wed 16 July to Sun 3 August 2014

Few people today know there was once a thriving Chinatown in London’s East End.
Yellow Earth’s new production will take you on a journey into this forgotten world...

It starts in Limehouse in 1958 when the local council is planning to bulldoze the last remnants of Limehouse Chinatown. As the local people decide how to embrace this redevelopment without losing their heritage, former Limehouse resident Eileen Cunningham returns to start a revolution....

This promenade production at historic Limehouse Town Hall will take you into the heart of London’s original Chinatown, exploding the lurid myths of opium dens and sinister Chinese gangs, to reveal a place that was for generations of people, simply home.
