Darkness and crackly music introduced the play. A large bronze shield on the back wall and a yellow curtain hung to the side served as the only set elements. The minimalism of the props provided well-considered contrast to the complexity of the drama. The play also made unique use of audio-visual technology, presenting the suicide of Ajax as a televised clip. The TV’s blurry, black-and-white image made the suicide scene creepier and more powerful than it would have been had it been acted out on stage...
...Tsang's good friend Sammo Hung, then a stuntman at the Shaw Brothers Studio and now the action choreographer for Stephen Chow's anticipated Kung Fu Hustle, who suggested in 1974 that the little man try his hand as a stuntman.

Are many on the left going to bother to schlep to the polls to vote for a Democrat who kowtowed to the President...
...Brain, the normally black Ex floor was painted with green tiled squares, adding a froggy atmosphere. Colorful squiggly clocks and abstract shapes were stuck to the walls, and the word “Yes” hung in the back of the theater. A shiny pink platform formed a staircase on the right rear of the stage, a curtain hung on the left, and there was a projection screen near the front. A New Brain’s staging may not have been elaborate, but it was vibrant and innovative...
