A Dream Like a Dream

- 27.07.2019 - 12.09.2019
In a story, someone had a dream. In that dream, someone told a story.
The story begins with a recently graduated doctor and her terminally ill “Patient No. 5”, whose tale encompasses complicated relationships and emotions. The plot unfolds across time and space, alternating between reality and dreamscape. After a journey through a life, the story returns to where it all began.
A Dream Like a Dream is one of the most talked about Chinese-language theatrical innovations. Conceived by acclaimed theatre director Stan Lai, the play creates a dream like experience with a four-sided stage, revolving seating design and an eight-hour performance duration.
In 2002, HKRep presented this epic in a sold-out run and received three accolades at the 12th Hong Kong Drama Awards: Best Overall Performance, Best Costume Design and Best Supporting Actor (Tragedy / Drama).
In the interim, A Dream Like a Dream has touched the hearts of theatre fans in Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Singapore and many other cities.
