The Last Days of Limehouse: A Journey Into London's Original Chinatown

T0621518245
Few people today know there was once a thriving Chinatown in London's East End. This promenade production at the historic Limehouse Town Hall will take you on a journey into this forgotten world. It starts in Limehouse in 1958 when the local council is planning to bulldoze the last remnants of Limehouse Chinatown. As the local community decides how to embrace this redevelopment without losing their heritage, former Limehouse resident Eileen Cunningham returns to start a revolution... Delving straight into the heart of London's original Chinatown, this site specific production will explode the lurid myths of opium dens and sinister Chinese gangs, to reveal a place that was for generations of people, simply home.
