| Description |
The Federation, which is composed of leading Chinese Drama Groups presents The Phoenix Hairpin, a tragic love story set in the Song Dynasty, taken from the life of the famous patriotic poet, Lu You. In the play, the young poet falls in love with his cousin, and although the marriage is initially approved by his mother, she later changes her mind on the advice of a nun who advised that the horoscopes of the two young people are not compatible. As befitting the subject matter and the period of the play, The Phoenix Hatpin is set in elegiac mood, with beautiful sets and live music accompaniment. |
