BackFeigning death is the only way to live, only a spoon is left at tether’s end
A graphic designer burdened with debt has no other recourse but to become a hitman. His client leaves him with only a spoon, and his target is his long-lost university classmate Wing. One needs money, the other wants to remain alive, so the two decide to “be creative” with a single spoon!
The Spoon uses black humour to chronicle a sad tale about the average working man, delving into contemporary urbanites’ existential state of being. This production premiered in a 2023 sold-out run in the HKRep Black Box, with theatregoers responding with non-stop laughter. This season we bring an even more refined production, finding resonance with our audience again.

“The tension throughout The Spoon isn’t entrenched in such plotlines as ‘assassination’ or ‘feigning death’ but in the sharp curves and steep inclines between mollifying and uncovering the absurd.”
