S8 Ep42: Mei Mac, Kim in untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play


Listen Later

Olivier nominee Mei Mac is starring as Kim in untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play by Kimber Lee.

The show recently completed its run at the Manchester Royal Exchange ahead of transferring to the Young Vic in September. Kimber wrote untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play in response to seeing the musical Miss Saigon; the piece addresses the East and South-East Asian stereotypes we see represented on stage and beyond. 

Earlier this year, Mei became the first East Asian actor to be nominated for Best Actress at the Olivier Awards for her performance in the RSC’s production of My Neighbour Totoro.

Some of Mei's other theatre credits include: Dear Elizabeth (Gate), The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe (Bridge), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Regent’s Park) and lots more.

Mei also works on screen, with her recent credits including East Mode (Comedy Central) and the Call The Midwife Christmas Day Special (BBC).

You can see Mei in untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play at the Young Vic 18th September - 4th November 2023. Visit www.youngvic.org for info and tickets.
