TYPHOON II
East Asian Playreading Festival

Soho Theatre, 10th-15th June 2003

TYPHOON II is the second of Yellow Earth's unique annual playreading festival promoting the best of contemporary East Asian drama, new to UK audiences. It is a showcase of work by East Asian playwrights from Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, Indonesia and the U.S.A.

Eleven plays have been selected from submissions from all over the world and a rehearsed reading of each play will be presented over the course of the week at Soho Theatre. From abstract to realistic, from mystery to fairy tale, the range and style of the selection of plays offer a feast of discovery for all theatre lovers.

The festival brings together theatre practitioners of different cultural backgrounds to celebrate cultural diversity with an unforgettable project that bridges the theatre of the East and the West.

Directors of the readings include Anthony Clark (Hampstead Theatre), Erica Whyman (Gate Theatre), Karena Johnson (Oval House, Kushite Theatre), Vicky Ireland, Kwong Loke and Philippe Cherbonnier.

Typhoon II is produced in association with Soho Theatre and is supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the City of Westminster.
