Modern: Memoirs of Arthur Miller and Ying Ruocheng
“MY HEAD FEELS LIKE A BRIDGE THAT ALL OF BEIJING HAS BEEN WALKING OVER.”
When Broadway met Beijing: A history-making adventure!
Back in 1983, legendary playwright Arthur Miller did something groundbreaking. He took his iconic play "Death of a Salesman" all the way to China to direct a production with the Beijing People's Art Theatre.
It wasn't exactly a walk in the park. Imagine trying to bridge the gap between languages, cultures, and national identities, especially after China had been closed off from the West for so long.
"Salesman in China" tells the story of this daring adventure, bringing this fascinating cultural exchange to life on stage right here at Stratford's Avon Theatre. Get ready for a journey that's as thought-provoking as it is entertaining!
