Dim Sum Nights news
We would like to thank all the wonderful actors, writers and directors who worked hard to make our first ever Dim Sum Nights last November such a success. Thanks also to all the people who saw the show and responded with such enthusiasm..
We have now selected five of the pieces from our Dim Sum menu to be further developed over the summer. We then plan to present these at the New World in October at the start of a Dim Sum Nights national tour.
The five selected pieces are
Yam Sing by Simon Wu
Butterfly (Dim Some Nights ) by Jeremy Tiang
The Clean Up by Victoria Shepherd
Nighthawks by Clare Sumi
Nui Ah by Thanh Le Dang
We selected these on the basis of the audience votes and our being able to present them all with the same small cast. We will announce the full tour dates once we have finalised them. But the tour can only happen if we first raise enough money for it so right now we are busy fundraising for the project.
Meanwhile, The Flying Roast Goose is being developed at Tara Arts Studio with support from Yellow Earth.
We plan to run a new round of Dim Sum Nights next year so keep watching this space..
Dim Sum Nights!

Liz Chan’s article: Chinese Britons have put up with racism for too long
Liz Chan has written an article for the Guardian Online prompted by stories from East Asian actors describing similar treatment within the profession and the revelation that the Chinese suffer arguably higher levels of racism than any other ethnic group in Britain - but are too passive or too scared to report them.See: Chinese Britons have put up with racism for too long
Yellow Earth’s work helps to overcome such prejudice by developing and presenting positive images of contemporary Chinese characters on stage and attracting as wide an audience as possible to see them.
