Midnight Kill

Written, directed, and designed by K.K. Wong, 'Midnight Kill' is set in a rural Chinese farming village during the early 1970s, when China's Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution was at its height. Under the country's autocratic rule, extreme forms of collectivism, asceticism, and class warfare run rampant. In this crucible of passion, ideology, and deprivation, a married woman and a local teacher have been having an affair. The play opens with her murder, and then flashes back through their relationship, eventually revealing the motivations behind the killing. Performed in Mandarin Chinese with English subtitles.
