Yong

Yong and his father leave their small village and travel across the seas, hoping to strike gold and find their fortune in the goldfields of Ballarat. Faced with momentous change, Yong's courage and inner strength are tested, and in overcoming difficult challenges, he discovers a resilience in himself that he never knew he had.

Monkey Baa's Artistic Director Eva Di Cesare has assembled an extraordinary creative team to translate the semi-fictional, historically significant story to the stage. Much more than a period piece, Yong has been created with the sensibilities of a contemporary young audience at its heart.
