A topical new play commissioned by the HKAF, Chinese Lesson looks at Hong Kong students and their responses to issues of the day.
This is a classroom drama about a Chinese language teacher and his six final year students who are about to take their university entrance exams. The production draws its materials from workshops and interviews with secondary school and university students. Co-playwrights Tang Chi-kin and Chan Kwun-fee create a no holds barred portrayal of youth and how they see the future of our city, history, literature, cultural confrontations and authority.
