In this tale of friendship, love, and authenticity, four Chinese friends reunite at a hot pot restaurant after the Covid pandemic.

As they reminisce and boast of their achievements, idealism fades into pragmatism. Will their friendships endure? Can old flames reignite? Amidst a queer-unfriendly environment, will they find the courage to discuss gay sexuality openly?

A Q&A discussion will follow the performance, providing a platform to explore East Asian LGBTQ+ narratives and their representation in the UK and the Western world. The discussion will be chaired by Dr Xing Huang, a Chinese queer studies scholar from the University of Nottingham.

Hot Pot is an original play written by Hongwei Bao, developed with the support of the University of Nottingham and UKRI, Arts and Humanities Research Council.
