The Story <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The production tells the story of stowaway. There are five characters in this play, and they have different backgrounds and are from different countries, but they have the same goal that they all want to be smuggled to England. An agent made deals with them before, and promised them that they would be smuggled to England. However, after they departed, they experienced an extreme shortage of food. As time went by, the trust between the agent and the smugglers started to collapse. And the agent asked extra money from the illegal migrants for taking them to England. Hidden in a container, five characters told their own stories and the intense relationship in this small container attracts the audience to keep watching and wondering what would happen next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
