“What’s the difference between cat and mouse if the cat doesn’t catch a mouse?”
“Our generation lives in a time that controls us. All of us have a bitter tale to tell…”
Everyone knows that Wu Song defeated a tiger. But who knew Wu Song also kept a diary?

Wizard playwright Paul Poon, after the sold-out run of Hu Xueyan, my Dear, singles out Wu Song from the Chinese classic novel The Water Margin, using a comic approach to construct the character anew. The story begins with Wu Song fighting a tiger in Jiangyang Pass, tracing the psychological process affecting his actions, accentuating the dilemma between idealism and reality. Wu being trapped in an emotional rut and his feelings of despair can easily be applied to our modern lives.

The Diary of Song is directed by the playwright, and Lee Chun Chow — renowned as an “actor’s actor” in Hong Kong — plays the title role. An exceptional lineup not to be missed!
