DOTS by Annie Cheung Show Introduction

A soul-baring journey of life, death, love, sex, humans, demons, self-destruction and re-birth.

She is trapped in a weird space. She wants to break free.

Or maybe she just wants to die without actually having to make any effort to kill herself…

Written and performed by Annie Cheung, DOTS is her first solo Self-Revelatory performance. Established by the pioneering American drama therapist Professor Renée Emunah, this genre of theatre uses real life experiences of the performer as materials for creation and merges drama therapy and theatre. Teetering dangerously between tragedy and comedy, with brutal honesty and humour, Annie explores her most private struggles in life and death, in love and sex, on earth and in the demonic realm, in self-destruction and rebirth.

Reviews during the London and Vancouver runs

“…She made use of very simple daily commodities in a marvellous way, telling us an extra-ordinary, surprising story about her relationships without reservation. Her courageous confession was in stark contrast to our cowardice and suppressed emotions…” - Prof. Man Kit-wah, Eva, Chair Professor in Humanities

“…this dark, autobiographical piece of theatre is brutally honest, extremely relatable and full of humour.” – North West End UK

“Awesome, vulnerable yet powerful performance.” – ShesDiverse

“A high-impact show, it highlights beautiful simplicity by its lighting and design, alongside Annie’s beautiful handling of the props.” – Two Lasses in London

“Annie Cheung’s Dots is an intensely autobiographical work, and a tour de force of solo performance.” – Black Box Review

“Elegantly constructed…performed with wit and heart.” – Merryn Owen, Head of Postgraduate Performance, Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts

“Beautiful, raw and real. Taps into universal human feelings and experiences whilst being courageously personal.” – Rachel Dussek, audience review on StageDoor
