Description
Chimerica by Lucy Kirkwood is a powerful and provocative play that explores international relations and the shifting balance of power between East and West. In 1989, a young American photojournalist captures a piece of history in Tiananmen Square, while two years later he is investigating a presidential election marred by debate over cheap labour and outsourcing to Chinese factories. A cryptic message in a Beijing newspaper sets him on the trail of an unknown hero he photographed. Who was this person? What happened to them? And could they still be alive? This gripping political examination and personal drama examines the changing fortunes of two countries whose futures will shape the world. Chimerica premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, before transferring to the Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End.
