In 2019 Chinese New Year will celebrate
the arrival of the Year of the Pig.
People born in 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995,
2007, and 2019 fall under this auspicious sign.
Some famous names who share this zodiac birthday
include Hillary Clinton, Alfred Hitchcock,
Julie Andrews, Stephen King, Emma Thompson
and Henry VIII.
Zodiac Pigs are usually generous, kind-hearted, honest and trusting. They set a
high value on friendship and are extremely popular.
Lucky numbers for pig people are 2, 5 and 8 or combinations of these numbers;
lucky colours are yellow, grey and brown; and lucky flowers are hydrangeas,
pitcher plants and the marguerite.

MUSIC AND THEATRE Lao Can Impression Performed in Mandarin with English Subtitles Directed by An-Ting Chang Designed by Wang Jing Friday 1 February, 7.30pm 80 minutes (no interval) Djanogly Theatre, Lakeside Arts £12 (£10 concessions) Suitable for 12+ A co-production by Chinese Arts Now and Concert Theatre, Lao Can Impression fuses the music of Debussy with a dramatic adaptation of the classic story The Travels of Lao Can by the famous Chinese writer Liu. Debussy’s music was inspired by Eastern culture – his father owned a China shop – and in Lao Can three professional musicians (piano, flute, cello), perform live onstage with two actors. Liu’s story is about how Chinese people faced Westernisation at the beginning of the 20th century, and Lao Can continues that narrative in contemporary times. 04 LAKESIDEARTS.ORG.UK | 0115 846 7777
