Four Seas Players opens their 45th Season with an award-winning psychological thriller MURDER IN SAN JOSE, written by Chong Mui-ngam and directed by Jackie Huang, performed in Cantonese Chinese with English subtitles.

Jealousy. Guilt. Paranoia. This intense psychological thriller will draw you into the hidden conflicts of three protagonists as it probes the layers of human emotions and relationships, between husband and wife, between old friends. An unexpected visit triggers a series of tragic events, exposing dark secrets. These irreversible turns quickly plunge into a spiral of suspicion, manipulation and humiliation. The play premiered in Hong Kong to rave reviews and has had three sold-out runs. It swept four major awards at the 2009 Hong Kong Drama Awards, including Best Script, Best Director and Best Actress.

Chong Mui-ngam is a five-time Best Script Award winner in the Hong Kong Drama Awards. In 2003 she was given the Outstanding Young Playwright Award by the Hong Kong Federation of Drama Societies.
