Screening films fresh from the international film festival circuit, including Taiwanese drama Bao Bao and Ellen Page vehicle My Days of Mercy. Be inspired by these touching cinematic stories and do your bit to promote acceptance of different sexual orientations in Hong Kong.
Secret Theatre
Watch out, there's a serial killer on the loose. Touted as one of the city's best (or worst) kept undercover cultural events, the wildly successful Secret Theatre project returns to Hong Kong this September. Ticketholders can expect one-of-a-kind immersive storytelling, site-specific set designs and roaming characters at this exciting sho, along with a scrumptious pre or post-theatre dinner option at Aaharn. As the location of this year’s production won’t be revealed until the purchase of your ticket, you’ve got to pay out to find out!

Matilda The Musical (Cancelled)
An adaptation of the beloved book by Roald Dahl, Matilda follows the story of a 5-year-old girl who loves reading and learning. Suppressed by her TV-obsessed parents who pay her little attention, and challenged by her tyrannous headmistress Miss Trunchbull, the titular character finds solace in the library in a world of her imagination and creation and finds a bond with her class teacher Miss Honey. The production features an original score by Olivier Award winner Tim Minchin, as well as Tony Award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly and director Matthew Warchus at the helm, it’s no surprise why the show is one of the most successful British musicals of modern times.
