If you didn't catch the hilarious misadventures of would-be triad Leung first time around, The Professional is preparing for a second run.

Presented by Chung Ying Theatre Company, the play is returning next month.

After playing to packed houses last year, The Professional was named one of the 10 most popular productions at the Seventh Hong Kong Drama Awards.

Director Lee Chun-chow and actor Ben Yuen were awarded Best Director (Farce/Comedy) and Best Supporting Actor (Farce/Comedy) awards respectively.

Written by Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts graduate Leung Ka-kit and directed by Lee, The Professional depicts a triad greenhorn's adventures trying to make his way up the hierarchy.

Mr Leung has just joined the most notorious triad society - Si Hing Lung - to show his determination to quit his part-time bullying job.

To prepare himself for promotion, he enthusiastically participates in on-the-job training, sharpening such professional skills as bottle-breaking, shooting and rehearsing crimes.
