As Chunky Onion Productions gains popularity in Hong Kong, company founder David Andrews has a much bigger audience in mind.

'We feel our educational drama programmes will be popular in other cities throughout Asia, and plan to explore China in the coming year,' he said.

Chunky Onion would have appeal on the mainland, according to Andrews, with the same combination of entertainment and education that had generated success for the past six years in Hong Kong.

Working with English teachers in the city, he said, the company provided educational material to schools to prepare students for each performance and for follow-up exercises.

The company's repertoire consists of remakes of familiar stories such as Aladdin and Mulan, with some local flavour and the Chunky Onion imprint.

Andrews said that performing for Hong Kong students had been much more fulfilling than corporate banking.
