Beijing People's Art Theater presents one of the Bard's most controversial creations, Tragedy of Coriolanus, in commemoration of the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth. Starring China's renowned actor Pu Cunxin, the play is based on the translation by the late Ying Ruocheng, one of modern China's most established and earliest dramatists. The Chinese version of the play carries on the thick, heavy and dark spirit of the original work, and the unexpected use of hard rock by the country's top heavy-metal bands is a brilliant touch.
7:30 pm, May 9-10. National Center for the Performing Arts, 2 West Chang'an Avenue, Xicheng district, Beijing.
010-6655-0000.
