Playwright's Studio 11

Venue: McAulay Studio 
Date: 2022.05.03 - 2022.05.07
Price: HKD 96 - 120  
 Presented by Hong Kong Arts Centre, Playwright’s Studio serves as an open experimental platform for playwrights to refine their creations, which would later be infiltrated with interpretation from directors and actors, not to mention the interaction with the audience. Playwright’s Studio sparks a new collaborative model in theatre, bringing playwrights from “inside the workshop” to “outside the house”. In total, works from three playwrights would be shown this time.
 
“Shall We Talk”, is a popular song from the early 2000’s that captures the invisible walls of communication between people. What scenarios will the song be transformed into, under the pen of the young playwrights today.
 
Three students from the Master programme of Fine Arts in Drama (Playwriting) of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts shall shape their observations on interpersonal communications, acquaintance and disconnection into plays. Let’s talk through the acts!

《Who muted…》l Playwright: Lai Sin In l Director: Siu Hei CHUNG

Everyone is loving their loved ones in their unique way. But not everyone can tell whether this is the love that their loved ones need.

Why only does silence remain in the air of our daily life?  Why are our dearest the strangest?

If the deepest voice is not delivered, does the purpose of speaking remain valid?

《Nameless…》l Playwright: Ella Cheung l Director: Melissa Leung
 

Once upon a time, clockwise I walked, I walked, walked. Until I met you, from anti-clockwise. You asked “What’s your name?” I thought for a bit in silence, clueless. Maybe I forgot to bring my name, or I have lost it on my way. Hastily, I returned to my clockwise path in search of my name. I walked and I walked, and found you on the anti-clockwise path.

《OUT OF TIME》l Playwright: YauYan Yau l Director: Fiona Yim
 

Some said that the fairest thing on earth is that everyone has 24 hours per day.

But we all know that some time do not belong to us

Given one Same hour. Some fleet, some drag slow.

How would you live if it’s the final hour of your live?

Give me one hour. Put away your phone for an hour.

Come to the theatre, and let’s experience time.
