REUTERS/Ann WangTAIPEI, June 3 (Reuters) - A Taiwan theatre is showcasing a Hong Kong play about Tiananmen Square to mark the 34th anniversary of the crackdown in Beijing, saying almost as much about shrinking freedoms in the former British colony as it does about the 1989 bloodshed.
The play is about parents grieving for their son killed in Tiananmen Square.
The theatre group that staged it, Stage 64, disbanded in 2021, citing pressure under the national security law.
An alliance of Hong Kong activists that used to organise the annual Tiananmen vigil was disbanded after the arrest of several of its leaders in 2021.
Some actors will use stage names and two Hong Kong actors will wear masks.
