China CITIC Bank International brings you "The Top Restaurant"
- Shenzhen-Foshan-Suzhou-Beijing-Shanghai
- 13.12.2024 - 26.01.2025
As we relish delectable delicacies of the grandest feasts
Can we fathom the bitter, spicy, sour and sweet tastes of life embodied in the capital’s best culinary offering?
After the owner Fujude—the most renowned duck restaurant in Beijing—retires from ill-health, his two lacklustre sons run the business to the ground. In comes Lu Mengshi who turns the establishment around. When the brothers witness the rising tide, they vow to fight Lu in regaining their rightful share!
Hailed as a theatrical masterpiece of contemporary realism, The Top Restaurant has won such accolades as the Ministry of Culture’s Wenhua Prize and Cao Yu Theatre Award. The Top Restaurant premiered by the Beijing People’s Art Theatre in 1988, then travelled to Hong Kong and toured Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. It was subsequently adapted as an acclaimed TV drama.
In 2022, the HKRep’s premiere production enjoyed a sold-out run. Soon after, it received Best Director, Best Leading Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the Chinese Theatre Awards. The Top Restaurant returns this season, welcoming again former HKRep principal actor and Golden Horse “Best Leading Actor” Tse Kwan Ho, who joins playwright He Jiping and director Roy Szeto—a reunion of the veritable dream team!
