In the bloodthirsty game of human ping-pong, only one can emerge victorious. The loser faces certain death. The queen bee sits on her throne. Watching with such intensity. She slips and slides. Watching. Watching. Her head turning on an axis, the bristles on her back erect, her sting so ready it's aching.
Then... all... of... a... sudden... the a...g...o...n...i...s...i...n..g cry of defeat.
AND IT'S ALL OVER.
THE TIME HAS ARRIVED.
THE WORLD HAS
STOPPED FOR
ONE PERSON.
AND THE B0TCH
BEGINS TO FEAST.
Queen Ping is about how power, identity, control and sexuality play out in the lives of four people whose paths connect and collide in present day reality and in the realm of dreams and fantasy.
QUEEN PING IS SET
TO BE A DELICIOUSLY
DARK, WICKEDLY FUNNY,
TOTALLY IRREVERENT
PIECE OF WORK.
