Legends (of the Golden Arches) by Joe Paradise Lui & Merlynn Tong

Southbank Theatre The Lawler
An exhilarating journey plunging two best friends into the depths of the Chinese afterlife written directed and starring two emerging playwrights to watch.
ABOUT THE SHOW
This funeral will be the death of them.
A rip-roaring ride plunging two best friends into the depths of the Chinese afterlife LEGENDS vaults across genres realities and theatrical convention with an infectious zest.
Co-created by Joe Paradise Lui and Merlynn Tong (Golden Blood) LEGENDS draws on the unique talents of many theatre artists from Australia's Asian diaspora.
It's a powerful deeply personal examination of the Chinese cultural experience and the enduring power of friendship revealed through a hilarious yet subtly moving lens.
Merlynn and Joe are used to fiery clashes - but what old friends aren't? As they spend a night holding vigil for their dead grandfathers their conflicting attitudes towards traditional values grow more and more heated.
Merlynn wants to preserve the rites of her forebears while Joe thinks it's all a load of superstition.
But the lords of the Underworld have their own thoughts on all of this and they're going to drag our heroes beyond the grave to resolve their differences.
