A stage adaptation of D.W. Griffith's classic silent film accompanied by an epic score,
Broken Blossoms is the tragic tale of Lucy, a young girl growing up in the seedy Limehouse district of turn of the century London.

A classic story of love and honour develops into a triangle of passion as two men struggle over one woman. This profoundly moving drama captures the essence of silent tragedy with stunning visual images. Marrying beautiful movement, emotional intensity, poetic text and haunting melodies.
