Growing up in a single‑parent household, Shing Kwai Yin has never escaped the storms of his mother’s temper, their home filled with constant quarrels and curses. After a mishap, he is hurled back through time into his father’s body, right on the day of his parents’ wedding. Has Shing Kwai Yin’s words finally come true, destined to “put in his father’s shoes”?
As he shuttles between past and present, he realizes that every small word and action he once made triggers uncontrollable reversals in the vast current of time. Each twist brings fresh chaos, friends and family around him change beyond recognition. The more he tries to mend the past, the wider the cracks in reality grow…On the wedding night, desperate not to vanish from existence, he finds himself trapped in an absurd dilemma: to act is to die, not to act is also to “die”! When this frantic journey reaches its end, will he finally be able to set things right?
After a sold‑out premiere last season and waves of acclaim, this uproarious farce crafted by playwright Jim Hui and director Edmond Lo returns in the 2026/27 season. Once again, it invites you to laugh, cry and reflect on the regrets of family life.
