HKRep 2011/12 Season Creating the best of the best in our 34th season

April 28, 2011 - PRLog -- (HONG KONG REPERTORY THEATRE) At the launch of its 34th season, the HKRep announced on 23rd March a lineup of 14 productions with the motto “Limitless creativity – Thrilling productions.” Among the repertory that will engage Hong Kong audience are both classic revivals and internationally celebrated new works.

HKRep Council Chairman Dr. Wai-man Woo states, “Our Main Stage and Black Box productions, in addition to co-presentations last season, totalled 16 innovative and exciting productions. With 195 performances, we attracted 57,000 audience members into the theatre, representing a 10 percent growth from the previous season. We are delighted to see an average seating capacity of 82 percent.”

On the actual lineup of the 34th season, HKRep Artistic Director Anthony Chan elaborates: “The HKRep has always presented high-quality, meaningful and exquisitely executed productions that are also entertaining. This season we’ll revive three classics bearing the HKRep imprint: a large-scale production of Boundless Movement celebrating the centenary of the 1911 Revolution, French comedy Le Dieu du carnage that recently received multiple Hong Kong Drama Awards nominations, and the well-loved and popular Broadway family show SCROOGE – the Musical. We also present three stylistically diverse new productions on the main stage: a world premiere work Reverie of an Empire that deepens our understanding of the 1911 Revolution and its aftermath, an adapted Japanese play entitled Shed Skin and the recent Broadway hit Rabbit Hole. On top of all this, we celebrate the inauguration of our refurbished Black Box Theatre, in which we nurture the creativity of our company members and newcomers. Our Black Box season includes three new plays by local talents, as well as three productions by our own company members. Along with an international collaboration and a work that’s been revived five times, the Black Box will provide an invaluable platform for talented professionals passionate about theatre and life.”
