A Westerner's Guide to the Opium Wars
Tabitha Woo was born in Australia. Her dad wasn't, but that's just the end of
the story. A Westerner's Guide to the Opium Wars takes audiences as far
back in Tabitha's family tree as she knows: to the early 19th century and
the First Opium War. With help from a sock puppet, Queen Victoria and a
couple of Broadway showtunes, she tries to understand her cultural
heritage.
Westerner's Guide is a genre-hopping escapade of
heartfelt memoir and biting historical comedy. Made by a team of
second-generation Australians, it's for anyone who has been asked "But
where are you really from?" often enough to start asking themselves the
same question.
This is genealogy like you've never seen it before.
