The Empire is in turmoil and the tyrant DongZhuo, with the great warrior Lu Bu at his shoulder, has made an eight year old boy Emperor and is ruling as chancellor.

As he systematically puts to the sword those who oppose him, the minister WangYun fears for his life and that of his daughter.

WangYun confides these fears to a singing girl called DiaoChan, a courtesan of his household and friend of his daughter, and when, at a feast thrown by WangYun, both DongZhuo and LuBu show a lustful interest in her DiaoChan comes up with a plan that could solve both their problems – a plan that would see DongZhuo fall and see her rise to the ranks of the nobility.

Performed in English.
