Description

It Won’t Be Long Now is drawn from first-hand accounts of Hong Kong under Japanese occupation. It shows the hardships and suffering Allied POWs and local Hong Kongese faced but also reveals the enduring humanity and will to survive that exists when everything else has been stripped away. Performed by Aitchison and Lee in English and Cantonese, the show is profoundly physical, expressive, nuanced and human. 'Very professional… a thoughtful design… an important history of Hong Kong that should not be forgotten' (Strand, HK). Ticket includes optional 15 minute post-performance discussion.
