THE Hong Kong Repertory Theatre is to re-stage its highly successful Cantonese version of the award-winning drama Other People's Money at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Studio Theatre in September.
The play, which had a successful run earlier this year, is a zany comedy about ruthless money-makers who buy and liquidate troubled companies for profitable re-sale.
The characters include notorious Larry, the ''takeover artist'', factory owner Andrew Jorgenson and his loyal staff.
There is also a bright young lawyer, daughter of the factory owner's ex-lover-cum-assistant, who is hired to fend off Larry's takeover attempt.
Funny, serious, suspenseful and expertly crafted, the comedy was also made into a successful movie.
Dr Daniel Yang, director and translator of the Cantonese version, said: ''When Other People's Money was enjoying its long runs in New York and London, it became the subject of conversation at cocktail and dinner parties of the business world.
