It's like I made a phone call. Beep, beep, beep, beep.

In that half-awake, half-asleep state, the beeping sound feels like a line is about to drop.

A woman invites a young man to a hotel for a deep talk. Beneath their ambiguous power play, a looming crisis brews.

War on the bedsheet. Three falls, two people trapped, and one phone call.

Where did the spider silk that descended from above in the room come from?

The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, School of Drama

Drama is at the very heart of human expression, its communication and identity.

The School of Drama believes that its unique position in South East Asia offers an insight into this artfrom that will both inform and develop significant creativity and distinctive artists to engage with and feed the cultural community of Hong Kong, the Mainland and beyond. The School of Drama strives to be an incubator, catalyst and repository of the values and importance of the dramatic, and performative arts and expresses this in the nurturing of actors, directors, playwrights and teachers who will function as practitioner-artists making a tangible difference to their community and their chosen discipline.
