'Contemporary Singapore: Actress Chiang Ching performs Madame Mao Tse-Tung on stage while her husband, Tang, is arrested and detained without trial. Struggling to understand her own role and her country's cultural and political history Chiang Ching, like her alter-ego, becomes increasingly delusional, and the lines of her world - the real, mythical and imagined - become blurred. Lau Siew Mel creates a challenging and potent weave of Chinese diaspora, political intrigue and personal journeys in a battle for meaning.'
