《鲸》的本事

人与人的相遇，物与物的牵系，总在冥冥中被一种难以言喻的机缘控制着。然而，我们似乎不懂得珍惜身边拥有的人与物。直到真正失去时，才知道失去了什么。

往往，这便是人心的一大惩罚。

《鲸》是一个非常“简陋”的粗生戏剧，“简”在它的简单纯净，“陋”在所于揭示的鄙陋根基。

在一个跟每一个黄昏都一样的黄昏，他带着一种跟每种心情都一样的心情，来到物似人非的海滩，谁也没想到会遇到一只鲸鱼！一只搁浅在岸边等待“台杀生效”的鲸鱼!谁也没想到会到给谁什么。

那么荒唐，那么滑稽，那么无聊。

却那么真实。

《鲸》的说话

宇宙间的人与物都有他们存在的价值和权力。在我们寻找人与人，物与物之间的交流，了解和包容时，也许早以潜埋着一份难以诠释的爱。只要是爱，都是没有理由和目的的，都是没有绝对的对或错的。

《鲸》外情

一直以来只演不导的“戏子”刘杰奇，加上演而优则导的陈佩奔，联合一直以来都没演过舞台剧的广播员杨君伟和前新广艺人萧国威走上舞台。他们也许粗糙，他们也许请嫩。但是他们绝不无聊。
