Description
A universal story about love and betrayal in the changing political landscape of Hong Kong.
1st July 2007, a decade since the ‘handover’, and China’s presence all-pervasive. How do the expatriates from Hong Kong’s colonial past fit into the picture?
When Joe abruptly abandons his wife, kids and penthouse apartment on The Peak, he never imagines that his social-climbing wife would commit the ultimate betrayal. On his return a few months after his desertion, sparks fly and home truths come out, a child is lost, trust is gained and a perhaps new kind of love emerges.
FILTH is the first English language play commissioned and produced by the Hong Kong Arts Festival. Written by Hong Kong born Young Jingan, a graduate of the UK Royal Court Theatre ‘Yong Writers’ programme, and directed by Hong Kong veteran director Peter Jordan, this insightful drama explores the complex tensions within a modern family in an ever-changing Hong Kong.
