The Love Story of Sam and Sally

The story depicts Max Brod’s struggle in executing Kafka’s will of destroying his works with a flame. In front of seven boxes of literary legacy, he wonders if he should defy the will. The performance gathers a full range of Kafka’s creative ideas and Kafka is outlined 3-dimentionally through Devising Theatre with multi-media technology, experimental music, vigorous visual effect and actors’ dynamic energy, culminating in a multi-layer version of this avant-garde literature writer.

The show was awarded Best Director (Drama/Tragedy), Best Sound Design, Best Make-up Image and Top Ten Most Popular Productions at the Hong Kong Drama Awards 2009, and Best Play Script, Best Director, Best Leading Actress, Best Stage Effects and Best Ensemble at the 2009 Hong Kong Theatre Libre.
