Four Seas Players wraps up their 44th Season with a melodrama in two acts – NIGHTS WITHOUT YOU, written and directed by Patrick Lee, both in Cantonese with English subtitles.
Hui Fei is a famous Peking opera star in the sixties before the Chinese Cultural Revolution. One day in his prime he has abruptly decided to hang up his boots and has not performed in public since. Thirty years later he is now teaching a few amateur students of the art in a little studio in New York City Chinatown. Jenny, his favorite and most loyal student, hopes to help him attract more students, so she persuades her ex-lover Alex, a young, ambitious Chinese-American local TV reporter, to set up an interview for Fei to appear on local television. But when Alex shows up with the crew one afternoon, he and Fei sparks an unexpected culture clash. It is in this clash that unveils Fei’s soulful secret hidden for decades. Sometimes, when you open the door to the past, what you confront is your destiny.
