Review-In Search of the Grand View Garden-CCDC7-12-13
Ah, The Dream of the Red Chamber yet again is inspiration for a dance performance though this time around it was not a classical dance but something much more modern, much more avant-garde.

Review-Through the Keyhole-Playtime Productions29-11-13
Some of you may have not known that yesterday was Thanksgiving in America. It was all too fitting that I was invited to see Through the Keyhole. Through the Keyhole is a charity production benefiting Feeding Hong Kong. Feeding Hong Kong is a wonderful charity that helps deal with the hunger problem we have in town.
Review-The Elephant Man-Performance Exchange28-11-13
If, like me, you’ve not seen the David Lynch movie or the Bernard Pomerance play, you can still come to a show about the Elephant Man (the late Victorian ‘monster’ aka John Merrick) with plenty of preconceptions.
Review-Bun in the Oven-HKPFF26-11-13
From securing a spot at the Matilda Hospital, to likening the smell of perfume to stinky tofu stands in Mong Kok, Bun In The Oven promises to take the audience on a roller coaster ride of the Hong Kong pregnancy experience. It doesn’t disappoint, and I had a good night trying not to choke on my lemon tea with laughter and musing upon the milestones in life I had yet to stumble upon.
Review-The Legend of Mulan-Hong Kong Dance Company24-11-13
If you don’t know the story of Mulan, first let me congratulate you on having finally left that cave where you have hidden in the dark, studiously avoiding the animated adaption that Disney gave to a generation of young girls. Mulan is the story of a girl who pretends to be a man so she can join the army in the place of her weak and ailing father. By taking his place, she saves his life and then helps to save her people.
Review-Girl Uninterrupted-HKPFF20-11-13
You might think, as I did, this Girl Uninterrupted in some way linked to a similarly named film. Well, it isn’t - but it most definitely does establish close relations with many other classic films.
