真心劇團誠摯地邀請您來東倫敦大學，在一個優雅的舞蹈/戲劇空間一起共度一個充滿玩味的週六午後時光
For most of us, living in London is a delight as well as a challenge. We have many different stories about the transport system, about the cost of living here, about the partks, the theatres and museums, the food, the multicultural mix, and also stories of our encounters with the shadow side of London. The homeless, the drinking and violence. Many of us have come from other places in the world. What brings us here? And what keeps us here in London? What are you missing? What have you found here instead?
對於很多人來說，住在倫敦是一個夢想，同時也是一個挑戰。無庸置疑地，倫敦-這裡匯聚了來自世界各地、無數的、不同且獨特的大小故事。不論這故事是關於倫敦的交通，關於在這裡的生活指數，亦或是公園的一花、一草、一樹、一木。喔！還有，還有無與倫比的劇院和博物館與世界各地的美食，多元文化之間的融合等等。又或者是發生在自己或是別人身上（如無家可歸者，酗酒者和暴徒等）一些不如意的遭遇，即始在這些關於倫敦陰暗面的故事，也都是我們歡迎的題材。
We will explore some of these questions together in a special way through a Playback Theatre performance by us for you. And before that we will also enable you all to meet each other in a very playful way. We are sure that you will laugh, and relax, enjoy yourselves very much and make many new friends.
我們，大都是來自世界的不同角落。是什麼把你帶到倫敦？倫敦有什麼把你的心留在這裡？你正在想念什麼？你在這裡發現什麼？
我們將一起通過一個故事劇場演出，以一種不一樣的方式，一同互相分享大家在倫敦不同的體驗。
保證您會過一個充滿歡笑、放鬆、享受自己，及認識新朋友的一天。
We will work mainly in English, but we can also interpret for Mandarin and Cantonese speakers.
活動將以英語為主，輔以普通話和廣東話進行。

We will end with TEA and CAKES!
