The fourth Lao She Theater Festival invokes new approaches to examining the life and work of one of China s most illustrious men of letters, Chen Nan reports.
When director and scriptwriter Jiang Tonglin was commissioned to create a new play adapted from Chinese writer Lao She s (1899-1966) works for the Lao She Theater Festival, he decided to combine six of the luminary s works into one play.
