Shrew

January 6-7, 7:30pm

A wry, clever and provocative twist on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, this award-winning new solo show comes to Hong Kong following an acclaimed transatlantic tour.

Katharina – or Katharine, or Kate, or the Shrew, she isn’t sure which – is trapped.
She laughs. She rails. She throws things. She reminisces.
About her father, who never seemed to care. About her sister, who figured it all out better than she did. And – most and least – about her husband, who made it all happen and who destroyed it all in equal measure. 
She is equal parts funny, sad and repulsive. 
She is a tragic figure stuck in a comedy. 
She is waiting for her audience to come back.
Above all, she asks what it means to be someone, what it means to be a woman, and what it means to be trapped in our own underwhelming destinies.

The Imposter

September 13 and 17, 8pm

David Young is the Impostor!

According to him, he has no skills, no talents, and very few redeeming qualities. But from his life as a pilot to years spent trying to get “the right corporate experience”, you’ll hear tales that take you up and bring you right back down again.

The only thing David thinks he has ever done of value is being a father, and by his own account, he’s been faking that too.

Enjoy an evening of stories that weave, intersect and clash – a mix-up of true stories that get to the heart of our experiences: tales of failure, regret and that one little thing that keeps us going.

The Government Inspector

June 25-28, 7:30pm and 2:30pm matinee on Saturdays
By Gogol

When the Governor of a little Russian town mistakes Ivan Khlestakov, a destitute civil servant, for an important inspector from St. Petersburg, Khlestakov milks the Governor and his officials for all they’re worth. How far will the incompetent, backstabbing officials go to hide their mistakes, and what can Ivan get away with? Worse still, what on earth will they all do when the real inspector arrives?

White

Hong Kong is a melting pot of cultures. However, many communities live in parallel existence without interacting with each other.
