Eight months into his internment in Hong Kong, with all his closest friends dead in battle or through disease, a young English-Canadian Sergeant from Montreal gets wind of a rumour, told through his officers, of how a hand-picked draft of healthiest prisoners will be sent off to Japan. Believing this is his best hope for survival, he attempts to ally himself with a band of rival French-Canadian prisoners to ensure he will make the cut.
Three Years Eight Months (三年零八個月) is a trilogy of plays by Donald Woo concerning the Canadian experience in Japan-occupied Hong Kong during World War II. From nurses in a field hospital, to English and French Canadian rivals in a POW camp, to a deadly standoff between Nisei soldiers outside Kowloon City; Woo paints vivid portraits of life under occupation and the complexity of war. A uniquely Asian Canadian perspective on bravery, love and identity in wartime.
