Writer goes behind bars in drama debut
Print Edition
鈥淢odel Prison,鈥 the first drama work by celebrated Chinese historian and writer Yi Zhongtian, is to be staged at the newly renovated Shanghai City Theater.
The production also opens a new performing season at the theater.
Set in the 1930s, the drama tells the story of a corrupt prison. It is Yi鈥檚 first in-depth portrayal of humanity in a stage production.
A decade ago, Yi鈥檚 series of lectures on Han Dynasty (202 BC-AD 220) personalities and the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220-280) on China Central Television were a huge success. He is still working on 鈥淵i Zhongtian鈥檚 History of China.鈥
The historian says that he has been a big fan of drama since childhood, and that he had attended many plays and traditional opera performances at Hubei Theater, in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, in his youth.
Peking Opera master鈥檚 classic performance 鈥淭he Drunken Concubine鈥 at the theater in 1957 was truly an unforgettable experience for him.
鈥淢odel Prison鈥 is Yi鈥檚 first attempt in creating a stage production. The writer is also considering creating a Peking Opera show in the future.
