Fringe Club Lease Renewed for a Year

The Government announced today that the Fringe Club‘s lease has been renewed for twelve months, until 31 March 2024.

However, the premises will go up for tender later this year, to as the government puts it “to identify the most suitable non-profit-making operator of the premises currently occupied by the Fringe Club after the current lease.”

The Fringe Club was established in 1983 and in 2001 it won the HKSAR Government’s first-ever Hong Kong Heritage Award, and the premises were declared a Grade-1 heritage building in 2009.

Escape / The Virtuous Burglar

Escape
A group of escaped democratic idealists are hunted by the authorities. They have no choice but to kidnap an innocent mother and her son. Even though they’re not each other’s enemies, can this hostile situation be resolved through rational dialogue?

Playwright: Shiu Sun Chuen
Director: So Kai Chuen

The Virtuous Burglar
The owner of a flat returns unexpectedly with his mistress, and discovers a burglar. When the owner’s wife arrives, the burglar is forced to pretend the mistress is his wife. A profusion of spouses and lovers appear and the burglar — apparently the only one not having an affair — is forced into pretending to have multiple wives. Then his own wife arrives!

Playwright: Dario Fo
Director: Chan Yik Lun (with kind permission of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts)
