New York Times<\/p>\n
New York Press<\/p>\n NEWSWEEK (Beijing)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n International Daily News, U.S.A<\/p>\n A Contemporary Classic of Chinese Theater \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n When this play was first named, the actors complained to the director how it sounded grammatically false. However, such \u201cgrammatically-false named\u201d play astounded everyone at its premier twenty-six years ago. What happens is a meta-theatrical collage: contemporary vs. the old, current events vs. classic literature, tragedy vs. comedy, crazy laughter vs. quiet tears. Based on structured chaos, the play indeed invents a new grammar. During these twenty-six years, audiences have changed their views toward theater, art, and even life due to the magic of this play. The play is truly an extraordinary product of a \u201cgrammatically false\u201d era. Just like Teahouse<\/em> and Thunderstorm<\/em>, Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land<\/em> has been regarded as the classic of Chinese theater of the century.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Script: Collective creation led by Stan Lai (1986)<\/p>\n Directed by Stan Lai<\/p>\n Cast: Huang Lei, Sun Li, Zhao Junyan, Jiao Yang, Wu Bing, Oseto Miho, Chen Minghao (Partial performance), Wu Bi (Partial performance), Xie Na (Partial performance), Zhao Huizi (Partial performance), He Jiong, Cai Lu, Dai Yun Yi, Meng Qianqian, Li Yan (Partial performance), Hong Shaoshan (Partial performance)<\/p>\n Scenic Design: Stan Lai, Ron Chang<\/p>\n Lighting Design: Chien Lee-zen<\/p>\n Original Costume Design: William Suk-ping Chang<\/p>\n Original Music: Fumio Itabashi and Kazio Umezu Graphic Design: Chen Chun-yen<\/p>\n Costume Reshape: Lin Yu-ling<\/p>\n Executive Producer: Nai-chu Ding<\/p>\n Producer: Wang Keran, Huang Lei, Hsieh Ming-chang<\/p>\n Production Manager: Vanessa Yeo<\/p>\n Stage Manager: Chen Li-mei<\/p>\n Technical Consultant: Szy Chien-hua Secret Love in PeachBlossomLandpremiered at Taipei National Arts Hall on March 3rd<\/sup>, 1986.
