JASMINE

Stage One Productions

Mother cannot forgive her son for abandoning the family, for his
selfishness, for his betrayal. The son returns. On her journey to
amends, Mother explores being young and ambitious in China during the
Cultural Revolution, young and limited in Canada as an immigrant, and
being a mother for the rest of her life.

JASMINE is a portrait of a family that has endured the destructive
effects of moving away. JASMINE is the shock of waking up from the
North American Dream, the New World Dream shattered.

JASMINE is the sequel to the SummerWorks 2005 hit PU-ERH, which NOW
Magazine designated a Critic’s Pick and Outstanding New Play. The
script is supported by Canada Council for the Arts and Toronto Arts
Council.

JASMINE is written by actor, filmmaker, and visual artist Norman
Lup-Man Yeung, and directed by Dora Award nominee Keira Loughran. The
actors are Janet Lo, Richard Tse, and Norman Yeung, with set and
costume design by Jackie Chau, sound design by Joshua Van Tassel, and
stage management by Steve Minnie.
