Mark Kitto’s One Man Show About the Boxers – Norwich Fringe Festival – 20/3/21

18:00 – 18:50 (55 mins) LIVE
CHINESE BOXING
Mark Kitto (Fakenham)

A one-man show about China and the West, ‘Chinese Boxing’ is inspired by the siege of the diplomatic quarter of Peking in 1900 during the Boxer Uprising, an epic clash between China and the West that echoes across the century. Will China and the West ever understand each other?
In 1912 Sir Claude MacDonald, Her Majesty’s former Minister Plenipotentiary to Peking, who was present during the siege and commanded the defence, gives an illustrated talk to the Norwich Asiatic Society. He promises ‘to take you back to Peking in 1900’. You might even find yourself in the Forbidden City while the battle rages outside.
