Aunty Mei is Looking for a Wife

Poor, poor Aunty Mei – it's bad enough her daughter's almost a spinster and now, a lesbian? Almost 25 AND unmarried, what will the ancestors have to say? (spoiler alert: a lot)

Like all good Chinese parents, Aunty Mei is on a journey to matchmake her daughter with London's finest lesbians (and that could be you!). Will Aunty Mei survive the culture shock and find a way for both of their worlds to exist alongside each other?

Come laugh, cry and experience the fantasy of your Asian parent finally going to therapy(ish) in this hotpot of a play!
