Local Sai Kung resident Lindsay McAlister, founder of Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (HKYAF), and Tony Awards-winning producer Brian Zeilinger are presenting a series of five bite-sized British plays at ArtisTree, Tai Koo Place from 13 – 22 June.

The audience can tuck into everything from highly entertaining tales of spies and gangsters, to the most hotly debated global and social issues of our time: environmental, gender and diversity. Presented alongside the thought-provoking live performances, Theatre Bites will give the audience a chance to see what happens behind the scenes through open rehearsals and talks for selected shows.

ArtisTree, sponsored by Swire Properties amongst others, based at the first floor of Cambridge House, Tai Place, Hong Kong, aims to open the world of art to new audiences by presenting work commissioned and curated by ArtisTree with its partners in new ways – featuring touring exhibitions, dance performances, intimate concerts, multi-disciplinary shows, and more.

Available on selected dates only, the Theatre Bites Double-Bill Package includes tickets to two selected shows on the same day – for showtimes please see below. Attendees will receive a complimentary glass of champagne or ice-cream treat; exclusive food and beverage offers; and an ArtisTree canvas tote bag.
