AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE | THEATRETaiwanAn epic theatre event, tracing the lives of three different families across half a century, by Chinas most revered playwright and director, Stan Lai.The Village is a deeply emotive coming-of-age story; expect to laugh and cry as heart-warming themes of identity, community and belonging are masterfully explored, appealing to the humanity within us all.In the late 1940s, thousands of Communist-defeated Chinese Nationalist Party soldiers fled to safety with their families in makeshift military dependents' villages in Taiwan. Fifty years later, what was presumed to be a temporary refugee exile transformed into a permanent communal melting-pot that would vibrantly colour Taiwans cultural heritage forever.Drawing from true life stories in such villages, legendary US-born director Stan Lai has captured poignant experiences and crafted a spell-binding set design and period costumes. Staged over 200 times worldwide, including in China, the UK and the US, and with standing ovations since its premiere a decade ago, The Village is a masterful and compassionate production that depicts the true, moving history of Taiwan."The Village is the pinnacle of our era of theatre" - The Beijing News"Emotions are so real in this stunning epic that people are left crying and laughing at the same time" - The Straits Times
