The Forbidden Phoenix

The Forbidden Phoenix is a new family-friendly play opening the week at the Citadel Theatre.

It's written by Edmonton writer & playright, Marty Chan. The story is based on the experience of the Chinese immigrants brought to Canada to work on the railroad in the 1800s.

  "Sun Wukong is the Monkey King, torn from his son Laosan and exiled to the west after displeasing the almighty Empress Dowager. Forced to work for the mighty Horne in Terminal City, he sets off to make his fortune. He need only conquer Gold Mountain and free the Iron Dragon to realize his dream of being reunited with his son."

The production takes place from October 25th through until November 9th. Tickets are available at the Citadel box office.
