BackWhen does a family become a family?
From birth? From their years growing together? Or when people are at death’s door?
From afar, this story about a mother and her daughters seems to unfold like a tragedy. Yet a closer look presents a comedy of sorts.
Are they a family?
A Family Story by Yu Yat Hon made its debut in a public reading in “Project Kite” (in Hong Kong), then was selected for a tryout. Written with a subtle touch that captures the intricacy of closeness and distance in families, this drama invites the audience to enter into three lives—a mother and her two daughters—resonating with that duality of intimacy and estrangement of blood relations.
Text Testing Zone is a new project where HKREP provides venue and basic technical support, enabling playwrights with potential to put on new works, testing the quality of their works, and enabling further revisions and refinement in the hopes of future fully-fledged productions.
