Description

First impressions are about pride, prejudice, or the red thread of fate secretly tied by Yue Lao?

Back to Hong Kong in the 1950s, four young and charming daughters of the well-off middle class Pak family live with their parents in Happy Valley. The mother is eager to marry off her four daughters to wealthy families, in a hope to change their destinies by marriage.

But Ka-wai, the second daughter of the Pak family, who is confident, intelligent, independent and well-educated, does not agree with these values. She thinks that love, instead of class and wealth, is the foundation of marriage.

At a grand party, Ka-wai meets the handsome Mr Tat-chi, who has completed his studies in Britain. The enchanting party setting is conducive to romantic love and they seem a perfect match… Instead, the first encounter is a hard crash. Tat-chi is overly proud of his social status and Ka-wai takes an instant dislike to the arrogant heir of a wealthy and prominent family. Will the poor first impressions break their red thread of fate?

The play is an adaptation of the classic English romantic novel Pride and Prejudice by the famous translator and playwright, Rupert Chan. To highlight our unique eastern and western literary background, Rupert exquisitely combines both Chinese and Western elements in his play, demonstrating Hong Kong as a place where East meets West in the 1950s.
