Large Medium SmallRhinoceros in Love, the only China contemporary drama that has run 1,000 times, returns to town.
Zoo keeper Ma Lu falls crazily in love with his neighbor Ming Ming, but the latter loves someone else. Ma does all he can for her but Ming sacrifices everything for the other guy. Sounds like a cliched love triangle story? Find out why it has been called a "love bible" since its debut in June 1999 and what has attracted some 368,000 people in 36 cities including in Australia to line up for tickets.
For those who are in love or were once in love, this is a play not to be missed. It is also considered the best work by director Meng Jinghui and his playwright wife Liao Yimei. The couple did it when they were not so famous. Now Meng is known as China's best avant-garde theater director and has thousands of fans. His every new play is sold out. Still, Rhinoceros in Love is his best work.
7:30 pm, until Aug 12. Poly Theater, 14 Dongzhimen Nandajie, Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-6506-5343.
