What happens when family becomes just a game for other people to watch?

Stop.     
Rewind.
Start again. And this time, make sure it’s perfect.

A perfect family celebrate their perfect mother’s perfect fortieth birthday.
A perfect photo opportunity – or a chance to destroy the image of perfection that they’ve been peddling for years.

Time to choose.

Winner of the prestigious Dutch Taalunie Award for Best Play, Blowing is the darkly comedic story of a disintegrated family which no one has got around to leaving yet, written by one of the most talented contemporary playwrights in the Netherlands.

‘It’s a tense, brutal evening of truth-telling and layers of all sorts being stripped away, and is performed with conviction … stimulating food for thought.’****
The Evening Standard on Fanshen’s recent sell-out show, Shooting Rats

Fanshen’s production of Blowing is the winner of the Young Angels Award 2009.
