ThreeWoods Playwright Presents SMOKING WITH GRANDMA

ThreeWoods Playwright presents Smoking with Grandma.

"We Refugee, The Eternal Foreigner; We are all...a drifting wood."

Every refugee has an untold story behind closed doors.

This acclaimed show is back again after its touring from Hong Kong, Adelaide (2017), Edinburgh and Taiwan. During the Duo Town International Arts Festival in Taipei and Kaohsiung, this play has received all five stars rating by the audience.

Maia called 1996 the 'year of lost': the year before the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, and the year her grandmother passed away. Her grandma had spent most of her life in Tiu Keng Leng, a remote island in Hong Kong where it used to be a refugee village housing former Kuomintang officials and follower who escaped to Hong Kong from Mainland China after Kuomintang was defeated by the Communist; was demolished in the same year. Just the night before Tiu Keng Leng was going to be disappeared on the map, when Maia unveils the buried secrets, she wants to go smoking with grandma.
