CENTENARY CELEBRATION FOR IBSEN

The Hong Kong Federation of Drama Societies will stage The Wild Duck, a masterpiece written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.

This year marks the centenary of the death of the great writer.

The playwright's realistic works have great influence on contemporary drama, and he is often referred to as the father of modern drama.

The Wild Duck tells the story of a young man, Gregers Werle, who returns to his hometown after years of exile and is reunited with his boyhood friend Hjalmar Ekdal.

The Cantonese drama will be staged from Thursday to Sunday at 7.30pm, with weekend matinees at 2.30pm at Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Student tickets at $60 and $90 ($120 and $180 for adults) can be purchased from Urbtix on 2734 9009.
