Chinese Whispers

‘Chinese Whispers’ is a one hour show by performance poet Francesca Beard.

It examines the connectivity between language, culture and identity, especially with reference to multi-cultural Britain and Francesca’s own background as a British national of Chinese-Malay origin.

‘Chinese Whispers’ is full of life and vibrancy, is interactive with the audience, fast paced, thoughtful yet humorous.

The BritLit project (British Council, Portugal) is planning series of workshops based on Chinese Whispers and run by Francesca (in April) followed by a series of performances (in May) in Porto and Lisbon. Both workshops and performances will be free of charge and will be especially useful for tertiary students of English as well as teachers of English.
