HAPPY TOGETHER
(WORK IN PROGRESS)

PRESENTED BY MENGQI HE
If you could choose your gender, race, sexuality and which country to be born in, who do you want to be?

Part of our Vault Festival Transfer Season

Two struggling actresses become best friends, though as the Chinese girl watches her soulmate succeed through being British born, will she give up her own acting dreams or her friendship?

Happy Together is a work-in-progress performance written by Mengqi He. The play explores sexuality, racial and gender identity based on the writer’s own experiences as an immigrant from Mainland China.

Mengqi He is a bilingual Chinese performer and writer. She was part of the 2021 Royal Court Theatre Writer’s group and her work was performed at Pleasance as part of Fringe Future Festival 2021. In 2020, Mengqi performed in Paper Daughter as part of New Stories: A Digital Short Play Festival with New Earth Theatre, directed by Jasmine Yeo. She was also selected as one of the artists in Oracles in Sepia with Compass Presents, using Chinese Calligraphy and visual arts to tell stories set during the pandemic across the UK and China.

This project is funded by Arts Council England.

This performance will take place with a live audience at Omnibus Theatre.

We are so excited to welcome you back through our doors.
