The Rep College's 'LADY PRECIOUS STREAM' by S I Hsiung.
"One of the two most successful presentations of the customs of the Chinese theatre on the Western stage. The conventions of the Chinese theatre provide in themselves a fascination for Western audiences, and Mr Hsiung exploits this without spoiling them by coyness or exaggeration. The effect is also dependent on a good story, and here too Mr Hsiung has provided aright, using the fary-tale pattern with its mystic trinity, its journeys accomplished and its hazards surmounted."
"...many enjoyable moments of well-paced comedy and menace...'Lady Precious Stream' whirled and swirled from start to finish. A good cast taking a difficult craft seriously is always a pleasure to watch." Ashley Pearce, Newbury Weekly News
