The George Wong Case - A Drama Prodcution

Description

The play, The George Wong Case, is based on South China Morning Post articles from 1946, soon after the end of the second world war. From 1941 to 1945, Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese; then after their surrender, the British returned to the territory. Back in Hong Kong when the Japanese invaded, George Wong began to work for the Kempeitai, the Japanese military police. After the British returned, Wong was put on trial for treason. He claimed that he was only a car driver for the Japanese, but many witnesses accused him of taking part in interrogation, torture and murder. The case raised issues of identity, loyalty, allegiance and justice.

The George Wong Case is a play scripted and directed by Dr Peter Jordan - Assistant Professor from the Department of English with over 30 years of experience in performing arts, and performed by our fellow students.
