Fanshen by David Hare


Fanshen Flyer


Against the backdrop of the Olympics, the struggle for Tibetan independence and the rise of the world's second superpower, theatredelicatessen invites the audience to enter into the fragmented society of pre-revolutionary China.

Fanshen is a forgotten classic from David Hare, the pre-eminent British Playwright of our generation. First performed in 1976, the play examines what it means and takes to create a just system where freedom is at the fore. Fanshen continues to be a relevant play that contrives not to make judgements, but to invite the audience to be part of a changeable world.

Following their sell-out run of A Midsummer Night's Dream, theatredelicatessen continues its residence of 295 Regent Street. Leave behind the high street shops and open plan offices of London and enter a crumbling space at the end of its existence, ready for a new beginning.
