Montrealers love Three Women of Swatow

Here are some of the lovely things said about Centaur Theatre’s production of Three Women of Swatow:

“In an era in which feminicide is running rampant and masculinists and Incells are slithering out of the dark web and into broad daylight, Chloé Hung’s piece, commissioned and produced by Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre in 2020 and now finally getting its second production here in Montreal (how, for the life of me, has this play not been produced anywhere else in the last four years is beyond me), is not a call to vigilante justice per se but a powerful anthem against violence towards women which shows that, too often, women need to take things into their own hands (here read knives and cleavers) because our system is just not working for them.” - “Anglo theatre: Chloé Hung’s «Three Women of Swatow»: Three’s A Crowd” by Yanik Comeau for Théâtralites

“Three Women of Swatow directed by Sophie Gee and written by Chloé Hung reveals the relationships between the women of three different generations: universal Grandmother, Mother, and Granddaughter. It felt as though all the women in the audience were sighing with some recognition of similar scenes in their own lives. There were of course some very kinky and surprising differences.” - “Review: Three Women of Swatow” by Anna Fuerstenberg for montreal rampage

“A confident, assured direction by Sophie Gee makes Chloé Hung’s script a memorable Québec premiere. Solid performances create a memorable afternoon or evening at the theatre.” - “‘Three Women of Swatow’ by Chloé Hung QUEBEC PREMIERE” by Joe Szekeres for Our Theatre Voice
