by BWW News Desk - March 20, 2015
PICT Classic Theatre's Artistic & Executive Director Alan Stanford just used up his three weeks of 2015 vacation days, but few people would classify taking the Gate Theatre's production of Pride and Prejudice to the 43rd Hong Kong Arts Festival as a time of rest and relaxation. Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austin and adapted and directed by Alan Stanford, ran from March 5 through March 15 at the Lyric Theatre in the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and every single performance was sold-out.

off the WALL's GHOSTS Begins Tonight
by BWW News Desk - February 27, 2015
The history of Ghosts is as rich as the story line is intriguing. Strongly criticized by theater critics of the day as 'abominable, blasphemous, disgusting, sordid' and shunned by society in general, Ibsen scripted Ghosts to confront the hypocritical morality of the day. One factor that differentiates playwright Henrik Ibsen from his contemporaries was his stance as a leader of the evolving women's rights movement in 19th Century Europe. He challenged the status quo that women were obligated to accept the infidelities of their husbands, along with other unspoken improprieties. To Ibsen, these destructive secrets were rampant throughout society, roaming freely like unseen ghosts, trailing generation after generation as the phantom ills of society's consciousness.
