The Hungry Ghost
Mei Leng Yew's debut play, The Hungry Ghost, stars Olivier Award nominee Mei Mac and is directed by New Earth Theatre Artistic Director Ailin Conant. The story follows a woman who, ignoring her mother's warnings about ghost month, unwittingly invites a hungry ghost into her new home with her secret girlfriend, leading to a struggle for control and the unraveling of her carefully constructed life.
