11 -13 May 06, Thu - Sat, 8pm, Theatre Studio

In the bloodthirsty game of human ping-pong, only one can emerge victorious. The loser faces certain death. The queen bee sits on her throne. Watching with such intensity. She slips and slides. Watching. Watching. Her head turning on an axis, the bristles on her back erect, her sting so ready it's aching. Then... all... of... a... sudden... the a... g... o... n... i... s... i... n... g cry of defeat.

And it's all over.

The time has arrived.

The world has stopped for one person.

And the bitch begins to feast.

A deliciously dark, wickedly funny, totally irreverent piece of work, Queen Ping is about how power, identity, control and sexuality play out in the lives of four people whose paths connect and collide in present day reality and in the realm of dreams and fantasy.

Written and directed by Natalie Hennedige, performed by Michael Corbidge, Nora Samosir, Noorlinah Mohd and Rizman Putra, with multimedia designed by Brian Gothong Tan, lighting design by Suven Chan, and sound design by TINNIDUOS.

Queen Ping is part of Esplanade's Theatre Studio Season.
