Description "Set in Sydney four years after the Tiananmen Square massacre - a bitter tale of disillusionment, struggle and bleak, fierce optimism, told in a series of fractured scenes that sometimes jolt backwards in time."
- Reviewer's opinion

"Black Eyes is David Zhu's challenging play that was translated into English for the first time for this production. It explores both eastern and western theatrical conventions and the story of a group of Chinese students surviving in a new country, of their lives which were disrupted by the Tiananmen massacre and of their pasts and possible futures."
