Golden Dragon
Like a spider the play weaves a web of connections that spread right across the globe, unfolding a kaleidoscopic look at a globalized world in brief and fierce comic scenes. The play centres around the Golden Dragon, a Chinese-Vietnamese-Thai restaurant that sells local residents its Asian fast food. Between hissing gas cookers in the cramped kitchen, a young Chinese man, one of those five Asian illegal immigrants who are working in the kitchen, is experiencing agonising toothache. Without a residence permit, going to the dentist is out of the question. The decayed tooth is painfully pulled out from his mouth with a wrench by other workers.
While it is flying up high in the air, more stories of residents around the restaurant are presented...
