ten²: A Festival of (Very) Short Plays
Where and When
McAulay Studio, Hong Kong Arts Centre
26-30 July
Blurb
HK Players' hot summer production in July 2005.
TEN² was a night of ten-minute plays that took audiences on an exciting theatrical ride--broad comedy, dark psychological exploration, mystery, social commentary and the many faces of sexual politics.
The production featured works by some of the best new playwrights working today, as well as a world-premiere adaptation of a short story by the masterful Roald Dahl.
