Where: Macao Cultural Centre - Small Auditorium
The Macao Cultural Centre presents this April 27-29, Fanshen, a play by British playwright David Hare. The performance is the final stage of "Fredric Mao's Theatre Mentoring Project" launched last year by CCM to continue its supporting of local artists, boosting new creative synergies.
Mao is one of Asia's most recognized theatre directors and five times winner of the "Best Director" prize at the Hong Kong Drama Awards amongst many other accolades. Local talents, Philip Chan and Johnny Tam, were the first selected mentees for this project. Graduates of Beijing's Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy respectively, Philip and Johnny are now under Mao's guidance and will be co-directing the staging of "Fanshen". The two local directors are working with a team play of 11 local actors with diverse levels of experience and enormous potential, making this one of the best ensembles of the kind ever put together in our city. Macao's "Fanshen" will be the Cantonese world premiere of Hire's timeless classic.
