Overview

At the burning Jian Tai tower, a fallen ruler confronts his past in an intimate Peking opera production.

Produced by Shanghai Theatre Academy, the work returns to Wang Mang's final refuge and his imagined conversation with his son Wang Yu. Political ideals, family conflict and the emptiness of power meet in a drama that looks beyond historical labels. The production was named best small-theatre work at the Jinling script event.

Cast (names transliterated)

Ruan Dengyue as Wang Mang and Sun Yajun as Wang Yu (guest leads); Zhang Shengzhi and Miao Yuzhuo (leads) (pinyin from the Chinese poster; spelling not confirmed).

Casting may change on the day.
