Tim Lloyd, The Advertiser
"THIS play from Hong Kong captures that feeling where the constant hope of salvation becomes set into the bones without the catharsis of release."。 [Read More...]
Jason Yip (Critics, Judge of Hong Kong Theatre Libre)
""The play is dark and sad yet brings hope to the audience. My brain kept looping the message inside the play after leaving the theatre, I questioned the world is too big yet there is no place for refuge. No matter you are in Hong Kong or Adelaide, it definitly worths your time watching it." [Read More...]
Georgina Tselekidis, Weekend Notes
"Cathy SK Lam brings us a relevant and real theatre piece...Upon exiting the theatre, Cathy's production Smoking With Grandma remained on my mind, where I pondered the past and questioned the future of our current refugee crisis." [Read More...]
Synopsis
"I didn’t remember if it was June or July, but it was the season of cicada."
Directed and written by HKADC Emerging Artist Grant receiver Cathy SK Lam who created acclaimed play "The Immigration Lottery". Smoking With Grandma is a brand new writing about refugees and will be premiered in Adelaide Fringe 2017.
Maia called 1996 the year of lost, the year before the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, also the year her grandma passed away. Her grandma had spent most of her life in Tiu Keng Leng, a remote island in Hong Kong which used to be a refugee village, housing former Kuomintang (KMT) officials and followers who had escaped to Hong Kong from China after KMT was defeated.Tiu Keng Leng was demolished that same year. Just the night before Tiu Keng Leng was going to disappeared from the map, Maia goes back to her late grandma's squatter. When Maia unveils the buried secrets of her grandma, all she wants to do is have a chance to smoke with her grandma.
