"Re-run Run Shows" to bring back three popular stage productions
****************************************************************
The three productions are "The Big Happy Dying Re-run with Big Happy Singing" by Class 7A Drama Group, "Haunted Theatre" (Re-run) by Drama Gallery, and "Funny Money" (3rd Run) by the Hong Kong Federation of Drama Societies.
As well as bringing back some good old memories, these popular productions will also include new theatrical elements, offering audiences a new viewing experience.
The Artistic Director of Class 7A Drama Group, Yatyau, said he will refresh the script of the 2007's play "The Big Happy Dying" and introduce musical elements into the new version, which will explore life and death in a lively and hilarious way while also being entertaining and reflective.
The Artistic Director of Drama Gallery, Yu Hon-ting, promises to "broaden the minds" of his audiences with his re-run of "Haunted Theatre", which depicts the bittersweet life of a deceased actress whose soul lingers on in the theatre.
The Hong Kong Federation of Drama Societies will stage a third edition of British playwright Ray Cooney's comedy "Funny Money". The leading character in the story finds a million dollars on a train, resulting in a hilarious battle with various groups of rivals.
