The Cast
Adapted & Directed by GAVIN BANTOCK
This most famous of the four great Chinese classics is about the early life of the trouble-making Monkey King and his comical disruption of the Celestial Empire, and the journey by the priest Sanzang with his disciples Monkey King, Pigface, Sandgrubber and White Horse to fetch the holy Buddhist scriptures from India for the salvation of China.
It is packed with fantastic and hilarious encounters with monsters, spirits & creatures of all kinds, and yet has more serious elements of endurance, fellowship & spiritual enlightenment.
