The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 1 time at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$230. The cheapest seat is at 中環娛樂行 in Central, HK$230. 134 minutes.

What it is about

A mother struggles with worsening bipolar disorder and the effects that managing her illness has on her family. The PBS Great Performances recording of the West End transfer to Wyndham's Theatre (from The Donmar Warehouse) in 2024.

What to expect

This is a filmed capture of the 2024 West End revival, recorded for PBS Great Performances. The Donmar Warehouse production transferred to Wyndham's Theatre, and the cameras preserve that staging. Caissie Levy leads a cast that includes Jamie Parker and Jack Wolfe. The score is rock-inflected; the book stays inside a suburban home as a mother's bipolar disorder worsens. It runs 134 minutes with Traditional Chinese subtitles. Only one cinema in Hong Kong is playing it this week, and there is a single screening. The cheapest ticket is HKD 230—standard pricing, no premium format. The subject matter (depression, suicide, drug abuse) means it is not for young children, though no certificate is listed.
