Merlynn Tong joins Regina to talk about Golden Blood.
Writer and performer in golden blood - first staged at griffin in 2022
Back to stc from 17th sept at wharf 1 Theatre for STC
Originally from Singapore Merlynn is known for her screen roles in Jane Campion’s Top of the Lake and ABC’s In Our Blood. Her previous works for the stage, in which she also starred, include her one-woman shows, Ma Ma Ma Mad, the true story of her mother’s suicide, and Blue Bones, a semi—----autobiography of teenage romance.
Golden Blood is also inspired by events in Merlynn's own life, and will see her star alongside the brilliant Charles Wu as recently orphaned siblings finding their way into adulthood amongst the steamy, tropical backstreets of Singapore’s criminal underworld.
Much of Golden Blood is performed in Singlish - and Merlynn can speak to how she uses language on stage to transport the audience into a different place and time - she touches on that briefly in this video.
The show premiered at Griffin Theatre Company in 2022, opens at STC on 17 September, and will also be performed at Melbourne Theatre Company later this year
