Doggie's Nirvana
Doggie's Nirvana: Jin Yun's 1986 play takes a sideways look at Chinese history through the tortured relationship of one man and a patch of land.
Doggies Nirvana
By Jin Yun
Original translation by Ying Ruocheng
In a new version for radio by Kevin Wong
Jin Yun's 1986 play for the Beijing People's Arts Theatre has become a modern classic of Chinese theatre: a broad, bitter comedy which takes a sideways look at Chinese history through the tortured relationship of one man and a patch of land. This new production for BBC Radio 3 marks the play's first ever performance in the UK.
Doggie's a nobody. A peasant farmer, his simple desire for a harvest of his own condemns him to 40 years of chaos, as history takes him on a wild switchback of fortunes.
Doggie ...... Duncan Preston
Qi ...... Tony Haygarth
Wang ...... Benedict Wong
Shu ...... Paul Courtney-Hyu
Jinhua ...... Su-Lin Looi
Dahu ...... Daniel York
Meng ...... Liz Sutherland
