The Faust Festival is nearly here! In just 2 weeks we will be starting our annual Festival full of theatre performances by our young members as well as seasoned professionals at the Hong Kong Arts Centre.
From May 25th to June 20th, almost everyday will be jam packed full of fun and exciting theatrical shows for the whole family to enjoy. Every Faust group will perform their show at the McAulay Studio under the stage lights and share with the audience the talent, commitment and excitement of acting live on stage.
We have a wide range of adaptations and original stories this year. Well known and popular stories such as Robin Hood, Journey to the West, The Ugly Duckling, The Jungle Book, Aladdin and others will be brought to life by our young members. New and original stories for the Faust Festival this year include Kip Marlowe and the Heart of Diamonds, The Baker Street Irregulars, Backstage and many more. These wide range of stories incorporate colourful characters with great plots and themes that the whole family can enjoy.
The teenage groups of Faust have also taken a more proactive role in their development of their plays. They have taken their skills and knowledge learnt in terms 1 and 2 and are devising their material in plays as diverse as A Wind for Troy and The Comic Conundrums of Commedia dell'Arte. This is a big challenge for our teen members and we look forward to sharing their creative output onstage.
In addition to our shows performed by our young members, we also have our Theatre in Education shows with adult cast members. In addition to last year's exciting shows Peter and the Wolf and The Secret Garden, we have two new shows: Oliver Twist and Splat!
Oliver Twist is an adaptation of Charles Dickens' captivating story about an orphan boy who seeks his fortune on the streets of London. It is a production that is sure to inspire children with its lively approach.
Splat! is a poetry based show that introduces new poems and some old ones too, exploring an exciting mix of poetic styles with a dramatic twist. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to share with your children an engaging and delightful world of poetry.
There is a lot to look forward to at the Faust Festival 2010 and something for everyone in the family! We look forward to welcoming you at the Hong Kong Arts Centre on May 25th!
