Abstract
This article aims to display an ethnodrama playscript with the story of a gambling husband coping with his financial struggle and his family’s emotional reactions. The researcher was involved as collaborating playwright in the project, assisting a devising director who led a group of ex-gambling addicts and their family members referred by a Hong Kong counselling service. The ethnotheatre generated, interpreted and mediated data from interviews and devising sessions, and exhibited a painful story about the downfall of a taxi driver who earned easy money by betting and ended up in heavy debt, having to resort to begging his wife for money. The article also includes a discussion on reality and truth, as interpretation perspectives in arts-based research.
