Shanghai Dolls by Amy Ng
A stage play telling the untold true story of two of the most influential women in Chinese history Madame Mao and Sun Weishi. Premiered at Kiln Theatre, London, in 2025.'An astonishing true story.. undeniably impressive'
* Evening Standard *'Original... a story that grips and fascinates'
* WhatsOnStage *'Fascinating and fast-moving... Ng gives us a last conversation in prison between Jiang and the tormented, battered, near-dying Sun. It's wrenching. All the more because the fleet 80-minute journey of the play telescopes the three decades, and makes you remain aware of the light-spirited comradeship of their early meeting'
* TheatreCat *'A pacy two-hander that provides a window into a terrifying period of Chinese history'
* London Theatre *'Dramatic and well-conceived... incredibly gripping and moving... a compelling show'
* Theatre & Tonic *'Poses disturbing questions about heroes and villains in times of violent political turmoil'
* LondonTheatre1 *Amy Ng is a writer and historian whose plays include Shangri-La (Finborough Theatre, London), Acceptance (Hampstead Theatre) and an adaptation of Miss Julie (Chester Storyhouse; UK tour; Singapore Repertory Theatre; and a bilingual version for the Hong Kong International Arts Festival).
