Lily’s grandmother was a beauty queen back in Hong Kong. She doesn’t care that times have changed, that Lily lives in a new country and a new century. She sees a granddaughter caught between worlds. So Poh Poh pushes Lily into entering the highly competitive Miss Peony, and no matter how hard Lily tries to wriggle out of it, her grandma won’t take no for an answer.
And to make matters worse, she’s a ghost.
Glitzy and madcap, Miss Peony is a bold new comedy about our good old need for connection – to family, the past, the future, each other.
And for the first time ever we’re offering a show in three languages: as in real life, these characters switch between English, Cantonese and Mandarin, so the show is surtitled in all three.
2hrs 20mins (incl. interval)

"Michelle Law has an unerring nose for a fabulous comic premise, and she’s a naturalborn entertainer. Her Single Asian Female lit up Belvoir with its exuberance and its loving portrait of family. Miss Peony takes things further. It’s irreverent, it’s heartfelt, and it has a cast of fabulous women (plus the perennial Charles Wu). Join them!" – Eamon Flack (Artistic Director)
