Two actors, Mohammad Kashif Ali and Ng King Lung, perform on a dimly lit stage during a production of Rooftop Productions' play, 'Testimony'. The actors, dressed in casual gray shirts, stand against a stark black backdrop with a projected subtitle that reads: 'I can't read Chinese; I can't play Chinese-looking people.' This poignant moment reflects the core themes of the contemporary Hong Kong theatre performance.
