The drama "Red Rose and White Rose" has returned to Beijing and is causing something of a stir.The show has just finished its third series of performances at the National Center for the Performing Arts.
The play is produced by the National Theater of China, and is an adaptation of a novel by Eileen Chang. Director Tian Qinxin has added some new angles to the story, while keeping the original spirit. A glass corridor divides the stage into two parts -- one side in innocent white, the other with sophisticated red.
这部话剧由中国国家大剧院改编自张爱玲的同名小说。导演田勤新在保留原小说灵魂的同时又在其中加入一些新的元素。一个玻璃走廊将舞台分割成两部分,一边是纯白色,另一边则是大红色。
