★★★★ “Ferociously funny” – Guardian
Startling, hilarious new play Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon comes to the Young Vic this Autumn 2023.
With breathless hilarity, Kimber Lee’s 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.
Winner of the inaugural Bruntwood Prize for Playwrighting 2019 International Award, this powerful world premiere is directed by Roy Alexander Weise (The Mountaintop) for the Royal Exchange Theatre as part of Manchester International Festival.
The play stars Olivier Award nominee Mei Mac (My Neighbour Totoro) as Kim, with Lourdes Faberes (Boiling Point) as Rosie / Cio-Cio, Jennifer Kirby (Call the Midwife) as Evelyn / Richards, Tom Weston-Jones (Sanditon) as Clark, Rochelle Rose (Rockets and Blue Lights) as the Narrator / Brenda, and Jeff D’Sangalang (The Ocean At The End Of The Lane) as Afi/Goro.
Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon plays the Young Vic Theatre in Autumn 2023 – from 18 September to 4 November 2023.
Produced by Royal Exchange Theatre, Factory International for Manchester International Festival, Young Vic and Headlong.
Kim 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?
