GROUP SCHOOL BOOKINGS

We're committed to providing learning opportunities for both students and teachers

AI May is a poignant and thought provoking play that delves into the themes of inter-generational trauma, cultural divide and the complexities of interracial relationships. The narrative follows Mother, a character caught between expectations of her Asian culture and the reality of life in a multicultural society.

WHY BRING YOUR STUDENTS?

Cultural Immersion: AI MAY provides a unique opportunity for students to engage with contemporary Asian culture and the migrant experience in a way that is both entertaining and educational. The play presents an authentic depiction of cultural norms and challenges, making it a valuable resource for discussions on cultural identity and heritage.

Language Learning: The bilingual nature of the play allows students to see Mandarin and English used in context, which can reinforce their language learning. The use of subtitles further supports comprehension and offers a chance for students to observe language in action within a rich, narrative framework.

Critical Thinking and Discussion: The themes explored in AI MAY—from cultural expectations to the complexities of relationships—are ideal for fostering critical thinking and meaningful classroom discussions. Students can analyze the characters' choices, the impact of cultural values, and the broader social issues presented in the play.

Accessibility: The play’s inclusion of both Traditional Mandarin and English subtitles ensures that all students, regardless of their language proficiency, can fully engage with the content. This makes AI MAY an inclusive experience, where every student can appreciate the story and its themes.
