Limehouse Nights
T0362284577
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.

Production details
Following annual sell-out productions at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the last four years; with transfers to Soho Theatre, Glasgow Arches and New York; Kandinsky, one of the UK’s most significant emerging theatre companies and two time winners of the prestigious Sunday Times Playwriting Award, premiere their latest production Limehouse Nights in the old Limehouse Town Hall this May. Stepping off the Docklands Light Railway, audiences begin a journey back to 1918, to the dingy, rundown 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.
This event takes place at Limehouse Town Hall, 646 Commercial Road, Limehouse, London, E14 7HA
