Red Dragonfly Productions and Grist to the Mill Productions: The Ballad of Mulan

Woman, warrior, legend. For ten years Mulan disguised as a man, has fought for the Chinese Empire. Now the fighting is coming to an end, one last battle and she will be going home -but can she return to her old life, become a woman again. A search for identity in a violent world. Commissioned by and performed by West Yorkshire-born British-Chinese actress Michelle Yim, developed with the support and funding from Arts Council England. Produced by the team behind Edfringe Sell-Out 'The Unknown Soldier' Gristto the Mill, in collaboration with British East Asian theatrecompany Red Dragonfly Productions, we bring you the real Chinese heroine that inspired Disney's animation and live-feature Mulan.
