‘Very well. I will do what I must do, Mother.’
Kim (Mei Mac) is having one of those days. A terrible, very bad, no-good kind of day, and the worst part is…it all feels so familiar. Caught up in a never-ending cycle of events, she looks for the exit but the harder she tries, the worse it gets and she begins to wonder: who’s writing this story?
She makes a break for it, smashing through a hundred years of bloody narratives that all end the same way. Can she find a way out before it’s too late? With breathless hilarity untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play jumps through time – wriggling inside of and then exploding lifetimes of repeating Asian stereotypes, wrestling history for the right to control your own narrative in a world that thinks it can tell you who you are.
The inaugural winner of the international award for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting in 2019.
