KDC Theatre presents “The Golden Dragon” by Roland Schimmelpfennig and translated by David Tushingham

Five cooks in the small kitchen of The Golden Dragon.
They are immigrants.
They are illegal.
They have no papers. 

And while they struggle in the kitchen, the people around them have no idea what is happening: The grandfather, his granddaughter, her boy friend, the man in the striped shirt, all of them have their own hardship, hidden behind the doors of their apartments. And the shopkeeper, Hans, really has something to hide.

The Golden Dragon is a play about anonymity in big cities, the neighbours we hardly know. About the people who don’t even exist on paper. A play about the misery hidden under the surface.
