Casting has been announced for the world premiere of A Playlist for the Revolution.

AJ Yi’s piece will run at the Bush Theatre from 23 June – 5 August, directed by Emily Ling Williams.

Making up the cast are Brandon Grace, Mei Mei Macleod and Zak Shukor.

A wedding in Hong Kong, 2019. Two worlds collide. A spark ignites.

Jonathan is a buttoned-up classical pianist, and he’s pretty sure his life will look just like his father’s: a good job, a family, firmly settled in Hong Kong.

Chloe is about to start university in England, and she’s ready to be the Asian Elle Woods. Empowered by the music of BTS, M.I.A and Beyonce (of course), she has big plans to make her mark.

Through months of sharing messages, music reccs, and late-night confessions, the two get swept up in the promise of how someone unexpected can change your world. What they don’t realise is that the world around them is about to change forever.

A rom-com right up until it can’t be, A Playlist for the Revolution is set against the backdrop of the largest demonstrations in Hong Kong’s history.

The production has set and costume design by Lian Bunster, lighting design by Gillian Tan and sound design by Jamie Ye with composer Nicola T Chang.
