Who took the alarm clock from the GENERAL?? 誰拿了將軍的鐘？
--關於《靈戲》的靈異事件～～恐～怖～喔
話說，如果排"靈"戲，沒有發生一些奇怪的事情，還真入戲不深...
事情是這樣的...
我們的香港將軍，Andy，習慣把他的小鬧鐘放在床頭的小平台上，
每天鬧鐘都會在固定的時間開始響。
有一天早上，將軍還是被鬧鐘的聲響叫醒，他習慣性的伸手一摸....
咦，鬧鐘不見了！！！
可是"滴滴滴滴"的聲音還是在....
心想是那個調皮的室友阿～～
仔細一想，同室的一推叔叔伯伯老人家們，Miyuki不可能,Beto他沒空幹這事，更不要說是Noushad了
當下決定立即起身，無論如何先順著聲音找出鬧鐘再說，
找著找著一路找出了門....
開了房間的門，進入2樓大廳，又開了通往浴廁的隔門，聲音還在滴滴滴
轉頭一看，終於看到鬧鐘獨自一個，被放在小廚房的桌子上，還在滴滴滴地響...
有獎徵答，
請問：是誰拿了將軍的鐘？？
WHY？？WHY？？WHY？？
-- 台灣Aunty，Themis代述代問囉
答對的獎品是什麼？？好問題，就送你將軍的心愛小鬧鐘囉～～大哥可以吧？？
An incident revolving around a SPIRIT –
Warning: contents may not be suitable for the faint-hearted
If one is staging ‘The Spirits Play’ and nothing supernatural happens, then the actors must be quite shallow in their rehearsals.
The story goes like this…..
Our GENERAL from Hong Kong, Andy now staying in a guesthouse together with us, has placed his small alarm clock by his bed. It always rings at a fixed time every day. One morning, the GENERALwas awoken by the alarm ringing and he stretched his hand to want to turn it off……
But the alarm clock is gone!!!
Yet the ‘Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di DI Di Di Di Di’ went on and on. "Sigh, it must be my room mates trying to be funny....."
But wait a minute, we are a bunch of 'senior citizens' (the age range of all actors in this production is between 41-48 yrs old) and among all staying in the same dormitory room, it can’t be Miyuki......Beto is too busy with his 'stuff'.......not to mention the very mature Noushad.
So Andy decisively went down the bed, determined to search the source of the alarm sound. He went from corner to coner in the dorm room, then stepped out of the dorm, then walked along the corridor, then opened the door to the shared toilets and shower rooms. The alarm kept on ringing all the time and the GENERAL was getting frustrated.........then, he turned around. The poor little alarm clock, was resting on one small table at the pantry area. "Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di DI DI Di Di.................."
(Sound of suspense movie plays……)
"Who took MY alarm clock? “WHY?? WHY?? WHY??”"
Now the MOTHER from Taiwan, Themis is writing and asking on Andy's behalf (the GENERAL is actually too scared to be asking this directly, in case more things happen to his alarm clock or perhaps other personal things or perhaps to hi.............ssssssshhhhhhhhh........)
Please send in your answers! The correct or most believable answer will receive a memorable gift - Andy’s precious-but-slightly-confused little alarm clock.
Hope this is ok with you, Mr GENERAL.
Signed,
Themis,
MOTHER,
'The Spirits Play'

TETC - The Origins
In May 2008, Theatre Training & Research Programme (TTRP) organised an Asian Cultural Conference and about ten past TTRP graduates and some former teachers got together. On the last day of the conference, current school director, Sasi shared with us first hand that due to the financial challenges for the school, TTRP will need to temporary close for a while. The ten graduates and the 4th cohort were very sad and puzzled by the situation.
We started exploring about the setting up of an alumnus to keep in touch, to continue exchanging what we’ve learnt, what we’re doing and also help maintain the visibility of TTRP. After three months of numerous email discussions, I was elected to be chairman.
We all decided that the company will be on an ad-hoc basis since we are all artists. We wanted the company to be fluid. We wanted to explore what type of plays and languages we will use i TETC’s productions. Most importantly, whether we could work together?
It is our hope that TETC changes its host country for each production. We believe that the impetus and environment that shapes the work is different in each country and can in turn provide varied creative impulses and mindsets. This would also means shared responsibilities administratively and logistically, which does not bear the potential burden of running a repertory theatre company and narrowing the artistic scope of any one particular TETC artist.
