LANTERN a play by Renee Liang
Directed by Eli Matthewson and Hamish Parkinson
Starring James Roque and Chye-Ling Huang
As part of the 2014 Auckland Lantern Festival

LIGHT YOUR WAY HOME.

Chinese New Year is the time to get together as a family, settle old scores and wipe the slates clean. But this year, for the Chens, there’s one thing missing…

It’s been one year since Rose left, walking away from her husband Henry, their online-dating-obsessed daughter, Jen, and their hopeless son, Ken. As their yearly family dinner draws closer and with a years’ worth of tension brewing, the stakes are higher than ever as the family’s flame begins to flicker. Will the New Year provide a fresh start for the Chens? And if so, will the family ever be the same again? 

Set in modern day Auckland, two actors play ten characters in a play that ignites the burning question all New Zealanders confront; where do I belong?
