The opening show of the Wuzhen Theatre Festival is the 8-hour epic drama "A Dream Like a Dream", which has been enthusiastically received. (CNTV) |
Xu Qing, Actress of "A Dream Like A Dream", said, "We changed the tea serving scene at the end of the play, only a few days before it hit the stage here. I think it’s more powerful this way."
But the play’s 8-hour length and delicate storyline remain unchanged.
It all starts when a medical school graduate begins her first day at a hospital, during which four of her five patients die. In a panic, she finds that all of her knowledge can’t stop it. Then she begins to use a different method, through psychology. The 8-hour journey begins with the story of the fifth patient, played by TV hearthrob Hu Ge.
