About This Show
British-Ukrainian playwright Tony Leliw brings to the stage his third play Sushi Girls – a fast-paced comedy about two girls from the East who come to England to study English. Shizuko is the daughter of a multi-millionaire restaurant owner living in Tokyo who has sent his daughter to London to try and break up her relationship with a boy who he believes is only after her money. Shizuko knows her father’s plan, and is adamant that she will do everything she can to get back to Tokyo, even if it means, God forbid, killing her host family. Would she do that? Could she do that? That is the burning question. Her flatmate Ichika, who comes from a poor family is a polite, good Japanese girl, the typical stereotype that her host family like. She always bows, has a smile, never asks for anything and is a quiet as a mouse. Will Shizuko do enough damage to get them set home, or can Ichika put the brakes on her activities and save the day? London has been her dream as a young child – Big Ben, Buckingham Palace – she doesn’t want it to end.
