(King Li, the Final Escape)
The Play

舞台劇：《飛越老人院》

有錢有氣勢的李老闆，曾經叱吒商場，在家呼風喚雨，老來竟然入住老人院，還從未有訪客！李老闆遇上各式院友，有被兒媳嫌棄，有與妻兒分離；心有不甘的老友記決定逃走，誓要飛越老人院！

創作意念來自莎士比亞四大悲劇之一＜李爾王＞。這位香港李爾王和他的院友，真正要飛越的，是這四面牆嗎？悲劇可以變喜劇？

Wealthy and commanding, King Li, who once had a powerful presence in the business world and ruled his household with authority, unexpectedly in his old age, he had to move into a nursing home without any visitors. Encountering a variety of fellow residents, some scorned by their daughters-in-law and others separated from their wives and children, the disgruntled old friends decide to take a break for it, vowing to soar beyond the confines of the nursing home!
The creative idea is inspired by one of Shakespeare’s four great tragedies, “King Lear.” This Hong Kong version of King Lear and his companions, what they truly aim to transcend, are these four walls? Can a tragedy turn into a comedy?
