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.
