"LONELY Stage" is drama director Yu Manwen's first production for the "Seed Theater" project at the Mini Theater in 1933 Old Millfun.
It tells behind the scenes stories of Kunqu Opera.
In this monodrama, one actress plays a Kunqu xiaosheng role, usually a young scholar or lover in Chinese opera, and talks about the excitement and nervousness of being on stage, self doubts and takes questions on Kunqu Opera.
Kunqu Opera singing will be used to present moods on stage, according to director Yu, who has a strong Kunqu background.
