She Devil Buckles Swashes and Pits Sword Against Sorcery!
Pirate queen clashes with immortal sorceress in a mashup of true history, sword/sorcery and Marvel Comics in Pork Filled Productions’ return to live theatre! Produced in association with Theatre Off Jackson, She Devil of the China Seas is by PFP head Roger W. Tang, directed by Kiefer Harrington, and plays August 13 to 27, 2022 (previews on August 11), at the Theatre Off Jackson (409 7th Ave. S. in Seattle’s International District).
Fielding one of the largest Asian American casts in recent Puget Sound history, She Devil is based on the real-life figure, Zhang Tse, history’s most successful pirate. Also known as Ching Shih, Zhang Yi and Ching Yi Saou, she defeated both Imperial Chinese and European fleets in her spectacular career in the 19th Century.
Tse knew one thing: survival. She clawed her way up, using any means possible to aid her injured sister, Hei. But when China’s pirate king, Zhang Ngoi, offers her a chance for more, the sorceress Moh and her dark forces gather to destroy her before she can even accept…and fulfill a destiny from the gods!
