Raindrops on a White Pear Blossom

Raindrops on a White Pear Blossom, a new play by Leo Lu and the Michaelmas Week 4 Corpus Mainshow, is looking for a wider prod team!

Synopsis

"Chinese people has a saying describing crying woman. Li Hua Dai Yu. Raindrops on a white pear flower. I always wanted to have a girl like that. So soft, so protected. So beautiful."

June 2005, London. Young Chinese immigrant Lily Wei struggles to improve her English and escape low-paid work, while raising her intense, secretive “friend” Evelyn. Evelyn soon reveals herself as Lily’s daughter sent back from 2025—by unknown means—to save Lily from a lifetime of abusive men, poverty, and regret.

When Brett, a well-meaning but entitled City intern, becomes Lily’s new romantic possibility, Evelyn weaponises her future knowledge to sabotage the relationship, insisting she is protecting her mother from emotional ruin. The mother-daughter relationship becomes inverted as daughter fights for control over mother's life, and after a final fight makes the duo finally see the naked truth about their twisted love, Lily attempts to leave and Evelyn acquiesces, welcoming a new day alone but free.
