Playwright Kimber Lee, the art of pattern discussed, Elgan Ll欧r Thomas on queer culture in classical song
Kimber Lee on challenging Miss Saigon in her new play which opens this year鈥檚 Manchester International Festival, the art of pattern discussed, and Elgan Ll欧r Thomas sings live.
In 2019 Kimber Lee won the first International Award from the Bruntwood Prize, the UK鈥檚 biggest national competition for playwriting, with her work - Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon Play. As the play鈥檚 world premiere production prepares to open this year鈥檚 Manchester International Festival, Kimber joins Front Row to discuss how Groundhog Day helped her to take on a century of East Asian stereotypes.
