On stage

Kwan-Ho is a familiar name to many in the Hong Kong stage-play/theatre scene. He has participated in stage productions of plays such as "I Have a Date with Spring" and "The Mad Phoenix", both scripted by Hong Kong playwright Raymond To Kwok-Wai. His acting talent was finally recognized when he was awarded the Golden Horse (Asian equivalent of the Academy Awards) Best Actor award in December 1997 for his portrayal of the lead character in the film version of "The Mad Phoenix".

Kwan-Ho's further involvement with Spring-time Stage Productions from 1997 to 1999 led to numerous very successful and well-received plays such as "The Mad Phoenix" (repeat), "Shanghai Blues", "Pygmalion", "The Umbrella Story", "The Lover", and "Sentimental Journey". Most recently, as a free-lance actor, he has appeared in the two-person play "To Kill or To Be Killed" with stage and film veteran Anthony Wong (Sept. 2000).

In addition to acting, Kwan-Ho has also been actively involved in various aspects of backstage work for stage productions such as "The Umbrella Story" (as director, 1998) and "Red Boat in the Misty Rain" (my literal translation of the show from its Chinese name... don't know its official English title) (as assistant director, 2000-2001, run ended in February).

Back to "The Mad Phoenix"

I have written a review/plot summary for the film "The Mad Phoenix", which you are more than welcome to read. Another web-savvy fan of Kwan-Ho named Io has posted a very informative and entertaining site on the movie. The Hong Kong Film Critics Society has also posted a number of reviews for the film. And of course there are descriptions of the film in numerous movie databases such as the Hong Kong Movie Data Base, Internet Movie Data Base, and Chinese "Dianying" Movie Data Base. These links will take you directly to the page that talks about the film which will provide further links to the filmography of Tse Kwan-Ho and other members of the crew and cast involved.
