25&ON — Grounded in Resonance Play-reading Showcase: New Writing Fermata
In 2013, at the inception of the “Contemporary Writing for Theatre”, a play-reading salon "New Writing Aftertaste" was launched, featuring a mix of reading and performance of several European classics.
Celebrating On & On’s 25th anniversary, the company presents "New Writing Fermata", in which the up-and-coming director Gordon Wong reinterprets five original local works from the “Contemporary Writing for Theatre” through excerpt readings.

"My Trembling Ears" by Cally Yu
“And then, I float…” by Janice Poon
“Magic in Chinese Style (that you all know about)” by Tang Ching-kin
