For those who find Peking Opera an incomprehensible collection of sounds, or find 
three volume Chinese Classics just too long our resident British Monkey King 
Ghaffar Pourazar (ICBO) and Jing-Kun arts troupe offers a ground breaking event for 
both fans of literature and opera. A Monkey King who speaks English.
Ghaffar Pourazar's production uses story telling to explain Beijing Opera tales, 
traditions and techniques while his story comes alive right in front of your eyes 
with female warriors, angels, animals, monsters, Generals, kings and queens and 
painted faced characters. Young American Lucy Robare plays the Monkey King in his 
childhood.

"Watch the sory teller transform himself into the Monkey King on stage and create 
Havoc. It's the only place where and English speaking audience will understand 
exactly what the Monkey King is saying."

The English Monkey King is playing at the Hu Guan Hui Guan (Traditional Opera House 
south of Liu Li Chang ) on Sunday 24th of September at 2:30.
