Penguin Plays – Lady Precious Stream (1958)

This edition of Penguin Plays (produced mostly for schools and amateur dramatic groups who needed script and play ideas). Hsiung Shih-I’s Lady Precious Stream (1934) was included in this 1958 edition. I’ve blogged about Hsiung before – friend of Chiang Yee, Belsize Park resident, playwright. You can listen to my BBC radio documentary on Hsiung and the other Hampstead Chinese of the 1930s here, there’s also Diana Yeh’s excellent book on Hsiung, The Happy Hsiungs (HKUP/RAS China) and Da Zheng’s A Glorious Showman if you want more on Hsiung.
