Harper only wears blue on Tuesdays. Her books have to be arranged in colour order. Light switches and door locks have to be checked nine times – her magical number.

Harper hasn't left her bedroom since the pandemic began three years ago. Her days are filled with counting, sorting, ordering and obeying the voices in her head. Through Instagram, she watches her contemporaries start going back to school, to parties, on holidays and hanging out. She knows her actions are irrational, but the voices in her head are relentless. They are there telling her what to do 24:7:365. She is a prisoner in her own mind.  

Written and directed by Lindsey McAlister, this original musical portrays a character with OCD, but it is not based on any one person's experience. Instead, it is a composite of diverse perspectives, offering a multifaceted exploration of this complex condition, highlighting its intricate and often misunderstood nature.

Come see this new musical that will be staged for the very first time at The Box, Freespace in West Kowloon Cultural District as HKYAF celebrates its 30th anniversary! 

Tickets will go on sale from 19 September 2023 via .
