Scripting HK's dramatic future
******************************

     Artistic director, actor and teacher Fredric Mao has devoted decades to theatrical dramas. With the support of the Home Affairs Bureau's Arts Development Fund, he and his team grasped opportunities to stage Hong Kong-developed works in Beijing and Shenzhen. He is confident the local drama industry will be ready to grace the stage when the West Kowloon Cultural District materialises.

     An interview with Mao appears on the news.gov.hk website today (January 11).
