龙须沟
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.
Teahouse
Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Herman Wouk, The Caine Mutiny was brought to the stage of the Beijing People's Art Theatre in 1988, translated by Ying Ruocheng and directed by Charlton Heston. A play sustained entirely by dialogue, it is hailed as a model of "drama defined by speech". Powerful actors including Feng Yuanzheng, Wu Gang, Wang Gang and Wang Lei portray the heated verbal battles of the court-martial aboard the USS Caine. The film adaptation leverages the shift from stage space to cinematic perspective to present an intense confrontation waged with language as its weapon. Amid the trial, the complexity of human nature and the limits of truth are gradually laid bare, with a distinctive dramatic tension bursting forth beyond the stage.
The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial
As the Year of Gengzi arrives, drastic changes unfold one after another...Within the legacy of the Manchu banners, sheltered by their ancestors, they indulge day after day in bygone glories, helpless and resigned.At the foot of the imperial city, swept along in the torrent of history, they follow hesitantly, struggling to make choices that shape their lives.They embody the blood and tears of a nation’s past; they are the common folk immortalized in the writings of later generations.
