ALL GOOD THINGS Comes to Hong Kong Rep in March

The Main Stage of the HKRep 2022-23 season concludes with All Good Things, the final production helmed by Artistic Director Anthony Chan prior to his retirement.

All Good Things chronicles the classic Orchid Garden Restaurant during the 1970s and 1980s, decades of vast changes that the cast of characters weathered as they helped each other, bringing out the best of human relationships.

Roger studies business in the United States, yet he still dreams of creativity and the performing arts. Sometime in the 1970s while on summer vacation, he worked at his uncle's Orchid Garden Restaurant, hoping to reenter the fresh orbit of Hong Kong life. He runs into many problems with his job, but these encounters teach him essential life lessons. His uncle's business philosophy and generosity also give him hope, equipping the young man with determination to forge ahead through disappointing times.

By the 1980s, Roger has completed his degree and returns, witnessing the city's rapid transformation, but Orchid Garden cannot escape its fate. Roger's career and dreams also suffer ups and downs, but his uncle continues to adhere to his principles.

Following the award-winning A Simple Life, filmmaker Roger Lee unearths another precious personal story, co-writing All Good Things with HKRep Artistic Director Anthony Chan, who directs this new play about Hong Kong's yesteryears.

This play is co-written by HKRep Artistic Director Anthony Chan and Roger Lee, directed by Chan with Lee as production consultant. All Good Things features HKRep members Angus Chan, Ko Hon Man, Eddy Au Yeung, Chris Sun, Ng Ka Leung, Trickle Choi, Eva Mak and Luk Ka Ki, along with guest artist Pang Hang Ying. The play runs from 11th to 26th March at the Hong Kong Arts Centre Shouson Theatre. Tickets are now available at URBTIX outlets.
