Question: How are we to treat others?
Answer: There are no others

-Ramana Maharishi

The seemingly unthinkable has occurred.

We have become those people from the remote places we see on our screens. Thrust into crisis and driven from our homes into uncomfortable proximity with others whom we had pretended to happily co-exist with but perhaps preferred to ignore, inside the Muster Station, our fragile prejudices and assumptions are exposed.

When wind and snow fill the sky and the fire has grown cold, relight the coals, warm the wine, and turn up the wick of the lamp. We enter these tales in the shadows of the night but hopefully emerge into daylight.

Written in China centuries ago, Pu Songling’s Strange Tales are now adapted for the stage by the acclaimed immersive theatre company Grid Iron in co-production with the Traverse Theatre.
