Abortion, suicide, corruption and murder are just some of the issues this production tackles. Written by Alvin Wong Chi-lung and directed by Leung Cho-yiu, W Theatre's Empty depicts a gritty side of modern-day Hong Kong - a city, in the playwright's view, that's devoid of moral values and standards.

The two-act musical drama also explores the emptiness of a generation that's consumed by pastimes such as karaoke, shopping, on-line chat and backstabbing.
