Lucy Chau Lai-Tuen Sheen - Stage name Lucy Sheen Made in Hong Kong exported to the UK in the early 60s as a transracial adoptee. Brought up by a white family in the heartland of conservative England, next to the cucumber sandwiches, church spires and cricket on the village green. Lucy has over thirty years of professional experience as an actor. Lucy has always written, but it is only in the last five years that Lucy has become an active writer. Her work takes its inspiration from her own background. Much of what interests Lucy concerns identity. "Duality, the schism in thought and emotion when you are conflicted, when your heritage and culture is split. The loss of your roots the displacement from one culture to another." Lucy seeks to write and make sense of things that most British audiences will be unfamiliar with. What it feels like to be "the other", what it means to be a minority within a minority. To tell the tales of lives that have been overlooked, to make the invisible and forgotten visible and known.
