Teahouse
Teahouse, written by Lao She and co-directed by Jiao Juyin and Xia Chun, premiered in 1958 and has been staged more than 700 times at the Beijing People’s Art Theatre to date. It represents the highest achievement of New China’s spoken drama and has become the "treasure of the theatre" for BPAT. Embodying the artistic style of the Beijing People’s Art Theatre, Teahouse not only laid the foundation for its realist creative approach but also pioneered a distinct performing school of BPAT, making it a classic work in the nationalization of Chinese spoken drama.The cinematic theatre production Teahouse is a high-definition filmed version. An all-star cast including Liang Guanhua, Pu Cunxin, Yang Lixin, He Bing, Wu Gang, Gong Lijun and Feng Yuanzheng brings to life the rise and fall of the "Old Yutai Teahouse" over half a century. Retaining the authentic performing style, the film showcases the exquisite acting skills of these performing artists.
