Overcoat Touring China this November
In 2008, Gecko Theater re-adapted Gogol’s Overcoat in a vivid and humorous way. Overcoat took the stage of Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2009 and was highly praised by audience and critics. This award-winning drama came to China for the first time in June 2010, and the four performances in National Centre for the Performing Arts arouse a lot of applause. This November, British Council is bringing this excellent production back to China again, together with Magique (Beijing). Overcoat will be touring to Beijiing, Xi’an, Wuhan and Shenzhen.Click here to know more. |

Othello bt TNT Theater
OTHELLO is Shakespeare's most perfect play, a masterpiece of dramatic construction. OTHELLO is a thriller, a love story, a tragedy and an exploration of race, prejudice, power, war and human folly. OTHELLO is written by Shakespeare at the height of his powers, its poetry is finer than HAMLET , its pschology deeper than MACBETH, its love story more compelling than ROMEO AND JULIET, it;s heartbreaking tragedy more moving than KING LEAR. OTHELLO might be the finest play ever written.
In this TNT production, Paul Stebbings directs OTHELLO, Thomas Johnson composes the score - this is the same team that brought HAMLET and KING LEAR successfully to the stage and toured world wide. This |OTHELLO will be marked by clear story telling, gripping action and visual imagery all complimented by a live score sung and played by the performers. We will seek to be original and bold but at the same time true to Shakespeare's original and reflect the style that might have been used at the Globe in the Bard's own time. The production embarks on a 30 country tour of four continents in May 2010. We hope you can join us for this theatrical feast in China from 15 to 17 October. |

The Will to Build (Revival Version)
This powerful drama skilfully weaves together verbatim transcripts of Theatre du Pif’s interviews with real people who are intimately involved in and affected by our city’s obstinate will to build: property tycoons, construction workers, architects, planners, preservation activists, politicians, feng shui masters, former colonial dignitaries, cage-dwellers…
The Will to Build was premiered at the Hong Kong New Vision Arts Festival 2008, and it is the opening programme for Hong Kong Cultural Week at the 12th China Shanghai International Arts Festival. |
