Emily of Emerald Hill (Signed Copy) Lynsay Sands Gent SturgeonThis play chronicles the life of a Singapore Nonya, Emily Gan, in a series of entertaining and sometimes moving anecdotes. Emily, the charismatic heroine, is the only character to appear on the stage, but by skilful writing of the part, a whole host of unseen characters is conjured up Emily's friends, family, servants and the society of her era. Time is fluid and we move quickly backwards and forwards through the contrasting scenes in Emily's life.
