by Renee LiangLight your way home.Two actors. Nine characters. 85 luminescent minutes.Chinese New Year's Eve is when families get together, eat like gluttons and sweep the house clean of any bad-luck issues before the New Year. Unfortunately for the Chen family, there are rather a lot of issues. Henry is a broken man, consumed by memories of war and immigration. His children Jen and Ken are still trying to figure out the basics of who they really are. And then his wife Rose, who walked out of their lives a year ago, reappears just before dinnertime….Written by emerging NZ-Chinese playwright Renee Liang and featuring an all-Chinese cast, Lantern is not a play about being Asian, or even about being Kiwi-Asian. It's a play about what it means to be family. See the play that sold out its debut season at Smackbang Theatre (Auckland) in 2008.
