Glitz, glamour and laughter filled the theatre at The Tao of the World premiere last night.
From the moment this new comedy by Jovanni Sy 施崇梵 began, audiences were whisked away to Singapore's iconic Raffles Hotel and tangled in the world of the wealthy elite. Packed with dazzling fashion, infectious K-Pop hits and a cast of bold, outrageously funny characters, the show had the crowd laughing non-stop and ended with a rousing standing ovation.

Our third week of openings continues tonight with The King James Bible Play and tomorrow with Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Don't miss this exciting lineup of productions as they join the season and bring even more unforgettable theatre to our stages.

That’s a wrap.

Our very first Deliberate Play Reading Festival has come to an end.

What began as an ambitious idea just over a month ago became:

2 venues.
1 Festival Kickoff.
6 play readings.
1 new Cantonese workshop translation.
5 playwrights.
27 roles.
23 actors.
2 directors.
3 producers.
3 production associates.

All driven by passion, generosity, and goodwill.

With no funding.

We did it.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every artist who said yes, every audience member who took a chance on unfamiliar plays, and everyone who stayed behind after the readings to talk, argue, laugh, and continue the conversation. Those moments reminded us why live theatre matters.

Thank you to the wonderful teams at @barlemna and @zervehk for believing in this festival and opening your spaces to us.

This week, contemporary plays that rarely find a platform in Hong Kong met local audiences. A new Cantonese translation took its first steps. New collaborations began. Old friendships were rekindled. New ones were formed. We watched artists from different backgrounds, generations, and disciplines meet one another through stories.

That, more than anything else, was the festival we hoped to create.

This wasn’t about presenting six readings.

It was about asking whether Hong Kong still has room for artistic curiosity—for gathering around a script simply because it’s worth reading, for making things before anyone knows what they’ll become, and for building a community around new work.

We leave this week exhausted, grateful, and more convinced than ever that there is an audience—and a community—for this.

Thank you for helping us prove it.

We’ll see you at the next one.

— Eugene, Kathleen, XJ and the Deliberate Collision team

TONIGHT 7pm @zervehk !!!!
—
The typhoon is down.

The party—and the festival—must go on.

Tonight, we kick off the inaugural Deliberate Play Reading Festival.

Just over a month ago, this was simply an idea. Thanks to the generosity, trust, and enthusiasm of an incredible community, it has become a week-long festival bringing together more than 30 artists and six challenging and contemporary plays from around the world—works that we believe speak to the questions of our time.

Putting something like this together independently hasn’t been easy, but it has been one of the most joyful and rejuvenating experiences we’ve had in a long time.

If you’ve been curious about the festival, tonight is the perfect place to begin. Come meet the artists, hear about the plays, enjoy some music, have a drink, and celebrate the start of something we hope will become a lasting part of Hong Kong’s cultural landscape.

If you can’t make it tonight, we’d love to see you at one of the readings throughout the week! Only 28 seats per night. Get your tix the soonest!!!!!

And if you believe in creating more spaces for artists to gather, experiment, and share new work, we’d love to hear from you. Whether that’s by attending, donating, volunteering, partnering, or simply spreading the word, every bit of support helps an independent festival like this grow.

Here’s to a week of theatre, conversation, and new encounters.

See you soon.

— Eugene & Kathleen
