Teahouse, a classic play written by Chinese literatary
master Lao She, will be performed in Washington, D.C., in the
United States, from October 27-29, as a major part of the Chinese
culture festival.
Teahouse, which has enticed generations of Chinese,
explores the vicissitudes of modern Chinese society in one special
venue --a small teahouse, which caters to various kinds of
people.
An excellent script, elite direction and talented performances
have made Teahouse a "classic among classics" in
China.
Since its debut in 1958, Teahouse has joined the
repertoire of the Beijing People's Art Theater, and has been
performed more than 500 times.
An official with the theater said that besides Washington D.C.,
Teahouse will also be played in the US cities of Houston,
Los Angeles, and New York.
