Kandinsky theatre company invite you to journey back to 1918, to the dingy, run-down backwater that was Limehouse: London's original Chinatown.

Based on a true story, this site-specific production is an unflinching examination of cultures colliding in the East End.

For Lee Chee Kong and his Irish wife Mita, Limehouse is simply home. Amused to find themselves the object of Orientalist fascination, they are happy to welcome curious British friends. But when one of these friends, a glamorous young actress, accidentally dies of an overdose, someone must be blamed and their lives are turned upside down.
