Fight The Landlord
Fight the Landlord Is presented by Pan Pan Theatre and Square Moon Culture Ltd, a contemporary theatre play written by Sun Yue which examines life in China in a time of constant change.
This play takes place at the card table as three young people spend a boring afternoon playing the card game FIght the Landlord. The audience is fully immersed in the play, surrounded by bamboo trees, some even sharing seats at the card table. We follow the conversations which takes place amongst the three, covering issues on their mind, from what is gossip and what is news, health, love & relationship to home ownership, as they skilfully shift and change into different characters along the way.
The cleverness in this play doesn’t just lie in the comical execution of it, but the fact that it all happens around a card table and yet captures the audiences imagination in a way that after a while the subtitles are forgotten and everyone is wrapped up in the conversations amongst the characters.
