HKRep: 《忘年》

About the show

Can love bridge a gap of thirty-one years? He and he meet through a dating app, deeply drawn to each other. Yet the vast age difference constantly highlights their divergent upbringings, lifestyles, and values, leading to mismatched life stages and futures. Is a declaration of deep love enough to erase the years and close the distance between them? *Forget the Years* vividly portrays love, laying bare the chasm between reality and the times, prompting deep reflection. Produced by the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre (香港話劇團), *Forget the Years* emerged from the "Kite Project" and was refined over six months. Playwright Lam Chak-ming (林澤銘) delicately explores the possibilities and impossibilities of an age-gap romance. Directing is Shiu Mei-kwan (邵美君), a theatre veteran who has transitioned from actor to director; her emotionally rich interpretation is sure to resonate with audiences.
