We’ve received a 4 star Time Out review.

Here are excerpts that don’t reveal the play:

…Two men, one young, one middle-aged, watch over the sickbed of old Tommy Lee in a down-at-heel hospice room. The three of them bicker and jostle for position. There is talk of a stack of money hidden in the cupboard.

[Then] Yeoh’s ingenious twist makes itself known….

…Yeoh’s account of the immigrant experience – of Tommy’s journey from Malaysia and his acceptance into the social whirl of the 1960s – is cleverly played off against the generational conflict. … David KS Tse, Nicholas Goh and Jonanthan Chan-Pensley (in descending order of age) give decent performances in Bronwyn Lim’s production… the vertiginous sense of possibility and regret present in Yeoh’s intelligent script.

Yellow Gentlemen Play

A scene from Yellow Gentlemen

We’ve had the first night and we’ve had amazing audience feedback.

People have found the story telling compelling and innovative and are amazed that it is one of the rare British Chinese plays in the UK with a British Chinese writer, director and cast. There have only been a handful of British Chinese plays and there seems to be a demand.

Please email us or the author through benjaminyeoh.com if you have any further comments or leave them here.

We’ve had a small feature in the Stage through China in London and we are highlighted in the China in London brochure.

See the press release and please contact us for interviews or feature stories.

Yellow Gentlemen a new play by Benjamin Yeoh.

Tommy Lee is dying. Clinging on to life, he waits for his daughter and peace.

However two men have other ideas. They need to know his secretsbefore he dies.
His secrets may change their lives, and in doing so change his.
