Red Rose, White Rose

Description

Description

“Red Rose, White Rose: one sings, one acts, full of novelty and innovation, better than the movie version.” – Ou Fan Leo Lee

“Digging out the ‘hidden’ and deep-rooted problems in Eileen Chang’s story, with all actors mastering their ‘new roles’ with fine interpretations; and these make the performance very outstanding and interesting. This is a very successful attempt of Mathias Woo to make a production that appeals to both refined and popular tastes.” – Chow Fan Fu

Maybe every man has had two such women – at least two. Marry a red rose and eventually she’ll be a mosquito-blood streak smeared on the wall, while the white one is “moonlight in front of my bed.” Marry a white rose, and before long she’ll be a grain of sticky rice that’s gotten stuck to your clothes; the red one, by then, is a scarlet beauty mark just over your heart.

Will you be his red rose or white
How many red and white have you got
Would it be more blessed to be heartless woman
Would it be happier to be a heartless man
