The Scholar And The Executioner

Description

Description

Down with the examination system !

Down with brutal punishment !

Two characters: One a book-gnawing worm born from a process based on power and politics; the second, a monster who kills in the name of upholding law and order !

Playwright Huang Wei-ruo received the “National Project to the Distillation of Stage Art” award for The Scholar and The Executioner for making a mockery of the twisted humanity of two totalitarian societies in this black comedy.

Under the directorship of Tony Wong, Academy students give a superb interpretation of the play in the context of Hong Kong’s one-countrytwo-system administration.
