Melencolia

July 12-13, 8pm
By Peter Suart

In the middle of an English wood there lies an abandoned school and chapel, built for charcoal-burners and their families. It is a little like a boat, beached amongst the beech and oak trees, its roof blown away in a great storm. In the summer of 1967 we played very near to it, without knowing of its existence. At the same time, riots were flaring in Hong Kong.

The Emperor, his Mom, his Eunuch and a Man

August 26-September 7, 7:30pm
By Paul Poon

The Emperor, his Mom, a Eunuch and a Man follows the life of An Dehai (a famous predecessor of the final grand eunuch of all, Li Lianying). An, who was Empress Dowager Cixi’s trusted aide, was known far and wide for his overarching power, corruption and meddling in political affairs. Once he stole out of the Forbidden City, claiming he was en route to “order a new imperial robe,” but was arrested by the Shandong Governor General Ding Baozhen and sentenced to death. Although Empress Dowager was determined to save her favourite eunuch, she was powerless.Although the story centres on An Dehai, it examines the lives and relationships among Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Tongzhi, Empress Cian, Prince Gong and Ding Baozhen. So often, historical stories cast thought-provoking allegories on our own times.
