All Good Things

Although the city constantly evolves
Ardour and commitment pass tacitly between generations

Roger studies business in the United States, yet he still dreams of creativity and the performing arts. Sometime in the 1970s while on summer vacation, he worked at his uncle’s Orchid Garden Restaurant, hoping to reenter the fresh orbit of Hong Kong life. He runs into many problems with his job, but these encounters teach him essential life lessons. His uncle’s business philosophy and generosity also give him hope, equipping the young man with determination to forge ahead through disappointing times. 
  
By the 1980s, Roger has completed his degree and returns, witnessing the city’s rapid transformation, but Orchid Garden cannot escape its fate. Roger’s career and dreams also suffer ups and downs, but his uncle continues to adhere to his principles. 
  
Following the award-winning A Simple Life, filmmaker Roger Lee unearths another precious personal story, co-writing All Good Things with HKRep Artistic Director Anthony Chan, who directs this new play about Hong Kong’s yesteryears.
