獻給都市的野豬
《野豬》為編劇莊梅岩十年前原創劇本，首演由香港藝術節委約及製作，經過十年再成書。書籍設計上讓讀者選擇閱讀順序，兩面也是封面，一面打開是口語版本，另一面則是書面語版本。封面希望帶出一個開放式的情節，打開書腰會看到圍欄上有被破壞的缺口，野豬會選擇衝過去或是留下來呢。
Written by Hong kong playwright Chong Mui-ngam and staged at the Hong Kong Arts Festival 2012. The play was recognised as one of the Top Ten Popular Performances at the 22nd Hong Kong Drama Awards. After ten years, the screenplay is published by mountzerobooks.
The story centres on a taciturn professor who conducts research on local oral history and mysteriously disappears. Seasoned journalist Yuen Man-san looks into the case but finds himself muffled by the newspaper for which he works, so he resigns and starts his own newspaper. Although he has capable and sagacious support from his wife Tricia, and the help of a former student, Johnny, the inchoate difficulties of starting a newspaper are intensified by the pressure from all quarters. Meanwhile, a development project called the Perfect City has surreptitiously started. Do truth and freedom represent the ultimate goal? Would you choose to compromise, or continue like a wild boar, pushing and shoving your way to the truth?
