On a roof webbed with fish-bone antenna, a child with a superhero blanket cape was brought to the realm of Wuxia by a leaf. He took in all the tangling of impermanence with resentment, lust with karma, in the martial world. Now he is back, but thousands of years have passed. Experience the spirit of Wuxia: not a fairytale for grownups, but a medium to evoke thinking between the personal and the social.Inspired by writer Li Shoumins The Story of Swordsman from Mount Shu, Theatre Ronin recreates folklore and contemporary emotional landscape.Written, Directed and Designed | Alex Tam Hung ManCast | Cheung Lee Hung Holmes, Leung Ho Pong, Chan Ting Hin Henry, Chiu Lo Yin, Karen Chan, Musette TsangVoiceover Readings and English Translation by | Cheryl YungLighting Design by | Zoe CheungMusic and Sound Design by | Maj ChanCostume Design by | Cindy HoVideo Recording by | Chan Tze WoonEdited by | Kwok Chun YuiCinematography by | Mike Mak, Law Hoi Ki Ivan, Chan Tze Woon, Kwok Chun YuiCamera Assistant | Suen Ming King, Tsang Kin WongProducer | Lam Pik Chi JessieProduction Manager | Carvid NgaiPerformed in Cantonese with English and Chinese subtitlesPart of the C ARTS programme, a home for international independent arts, showcasing creativity, celebrating diversity, at C venues at the Edinburgh Fringe and on the C digital online platform year-round.This show is pay what you can, if you can't afford then full price please pay the concession price.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
