A Theater Mu World Premiere
Co-presented by Intermedia Arts
Written by Aurorae Khoo
Directed by Jennifer Weir

Life in Hong Kong for 13-year-old Tuppy and her guardian uncle is a magnificent world of horse racing, chinchillas and make believe. But as the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to mainland China looms, their untraditional family, including her uncle’s new girlfriend and their Filipina maid, must scramble to devise an exit strategy. At once a charming comedy and a complex drama, Happy Valley explores racism between Asian ethnic groups, the struggles of adolescence, and the life changing nature of emigration. Best for ages 12 and up.

From the Artistic Director's Chair on Happy Valley

“Khoo’s play is a lovely, poetic piece of work that draws the audience into its world right from the start.”  “...marked by uniformly fine performances.”
"This is a strong and engrossing production that ably captures a city and its people in the throes of transition.”  - Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Happy Valley...is entirely enjoyable, well constructed, and frequently moving." - City Pages
