To mark our milestone 55th anniversary, we’re producing a special staging of “Spring Fever Hotel” – a hilarious adaptation of a classic French farce by Georges Feydeau, translated by Rupert Chan and directed by our own Jackie Huang.
๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Get ready for a night of mistaken identities and chaotic romance as we take you on a journey back to Hong Kong and Macau in the early 20th century. In a shabby love hotel, a group of confused couples, jealous spouses, and eccentric hotel staff stumble through a whirlwind of misunderstandings. Packed with sharp wit, slamming doors, and outrageous twists, it’s a timeless comedy that promises non-stop laughter!
