| 20201222 | From Shore to Shore An audio adaptation of the successful, touring theatre show which chronicles the complex lives of migrants from China. Mary Cooper and multilingual collaborator, MW Sun worked with Chinese communities in Leeds and West Yorkshire, where some people spoke for the first time of events which had shaped their lives and which had not been previously told, even to their children. Stories of love and loss, struggle and survival create a powerful universal drama. The theme of separation from the mother – and by extension, the motherland - was a feature of all these interviews, with the oldest interviewee, aged 87, to the youngest, aged 12: Cheung Wing/Old Tyke/Bailiff - Ozzie Yue Written by Mary Cooper, with MW Sun This powerful drama is inspired by stories from Chinese communities living in the UK.
