「89年67月7日凌晨,六四鎮壓後的數天,油麻地發生一埸騷亂。當時示威人士於彌敦道近碧街一段聚集,其後出現擾攘,有人擲物,焚燒汽車,觸發警方大舉出動,並拘捕多名滋事份子。這一夜短短的騷亂,導致「支聯會」於當天早上叫停了原定為全民罷工,罷課,罷市(三罷),預計有150萬人參與的悼念活動。後來有滋事份子其實都是由中共派來,目的是破壞這埸大遊行,而這騷亂最終亦引致香港人「錯過了」為六四而做的一件事,至今廿六年。「碧街事變」六四滾動街頭劇埸,從當年的茂報及油麻地街坊的記憶片段出發,以「行動劇」形式於油麻地街頭重演這埸騷亂。故事分三線進行,包括一對因騷亂而失約的小情侶;一位與「革命」擦身而過的老伯和一位於學校動聲援行動的中學生。本出版收錄「碧街事變」的演出片段、劇本、街坊口述故事及相關的剪報和文獻。」(摘自出版介紹)
