Irish theatre artist Paul Curley will visit Hong Kong to perform "Bake" in April. Curley's first piece as an independent theatre artist, "Bake" opened at The Ark, Ireland's National Cultural Centre for Children in August 2014.
 
     This is a story about a baker and his daughter, and the queen and her son. It is Prince Fredrik's 9th birthday, but who will bake the royal birthday cake? As things heat up in the busy basement kitchen of the Queen's palace, the young apprentice baker Madeleine tries to prove herself to her father. 
 
     Paul Curley specialises in entertaining young audiences and has worked with many of the leading theatre companies in Ireland and the United Kingdom including Barnstorm, Replay, Graffiti, The Egg and Travelling Light, Theatre Alibi, Tutti-Frutti and Tall Stories. Performing with these companies, he has showcased Ireland's theatrical talent at international festivals in Edinburgh, London, Singapore, Montreal, Warsaw and Hong Kong.
