You and three fellow performing artists have adapted Austrian feminist playwright, novelist and 2004 Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek's Dramas of Princesses: Death and the Maiden into Cantonese. Why this play?

Actress Janice Poon Sze-wan (below): 'We staged Sarah Kane's Crave in 2006 and it was well received. We are now taking the challenge of staging Jelinek's play, which depicts the 'becomings' and 'being' of princesses including fictitious characters Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, as well as former US first lady Jackie Kennedy, US poet Sylvia Plath and Princess Diana.

'Our performance is an adaptation of the original script but we've chosen only chapters of 'fairy tales'. We want to bring out the manipulation [of] sexual and power relationships as depicted by Jelinek in these tales, in which we found a contemporary resonance to the Fritzl case [Elisabeth Fritzl, an Austrian, alleged she had been sexually abused by her father, Josef Fritzl, since 1977].
