A show exploring the real story of the woman behind the legendary Chinese female warrior who disguised herself as a man to join the Empire's army comes to Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre next month.
Woman, warrior, legend: for ten years Mulan, disguised as a man, has fought for the Chinese Empire. Now the fighting is coming to an end: one last battle and she will be going home - but can she return to her old life and become a woman again? A search for identity in a violent world, The Ballad of Mulan brings to life the real story of the Chinese heroine who inspired Disney's animation and live-action films, Mulan.
