新年快乐
Yes… it’s Chinese New Year.
So let’s take some inspiration from this magnificent culture and New Year’s traditions.
I’m expecting sea monsters, stove gods, red envelopes, upside-down fortunes, swans, lanterns and obviously – a pig!
For the linguaphiles out there, maybe find a few Chinese words and incorporate them in the play. “Mandarin or Cantonese?” Dealer’s choice!
Oh, and it’s bad luck on Chinese New Year’s to use negative words or to cry and to fight – so make the plays cheerful!
For bonus points, write something for a large cast – no more monologues and dialogues!
