"Yet Love is better than Life"

─ Oscar Wilde


Comment


Theatre is like a wondrous playground. The moment you believe, the magic begins.


The nightingale leads an isolated existence, singing songs up in the oak trees, and never really understanding what she is doing or why. On learning of a poor boy desperately seeking to bring happiness to his sick mother, the little bird adventurously takes off in search of a red rose to give to the dying woman. Uncovering more about people and life in this way, the nightingale finds she can bring hope to others. At the same time, she also discovers her true self.

Following The Only Stage's musical adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince, the group's new production transforms the Irish poet and playwright's short story, The Nightingale and the Rose, into another tuneful and poignant encounter. Multi-talented singer, actress, playwright and music director Jarita Wan, described by the South China Morning Post as possessing a "beguiling voice", distinctively synergises object theatre and Cantonese children's songs to spin a meaningful tale of love, wisdom, courage, and selflessness.
