There Are Two Perfectly Good Me's: One dead, the other unborn
Written and performed by Lucy Sheen

Susan is a transracial adoptee. She was brought up dislocated from her roots, her culture, her identity. In swinging 60s pre-multicultural UK no-one much cares about the identity of a lost, displaced Chinese baby. After all Susan should be grateful shouldn’t she? She’s been “saved” “rescued”, she’s been given a new life in the west. Half a century on the true legacy of her transracial adoption, the trauma and loss, begin to emerge.



I.C.U. By Lucy Chau Lai-Tuen Sheen

Brandon and Michael - a couple going through a very difficult time or on the verge of splitting up? Is their love what it appears to be? When two people play the relationship game to different ends it's not always clear who is using who. When things suddenly change, when the relationship status quo is shattered all those unspoken, unfinished conversations come bubbling to the surface.
