In celebration of its 12th anniversary, the National Theater of China will have one of its signature productions, Si Shi Tong Tang, or The Yellow Storm, performed at The Great Hall of the People. One of the renowned novelist Lao She's prominent creations, The Yellow Storm revolves around the struggles of three families in Beijing's Yangquan'er Hutong during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-45). It reveals their different philosophies of life and inspiringly relates them to social turbulence and political reality. Directed by one of China's most accomplished drama directors, Tian Qinxin, and starring a list of celebrity actors otherwise rarely seen onstage, such as Tao Hong (pictured), the play has toured more than 38 Chinese cities since its premiere in Taipei in late 2010.
7:30 pm, Dec 29. The Great Hall of the People, west of Tian'anmen Square, Chang'an Avenue, Beijing.
400-610-3721, 010-8447-6035.
