The Beijing People's Art Theatre unveiled its latest Chinese adaptation of The Miser on April 19, captivating audiences with shows scheduled to run until May 12.
Co-directed by Lin Cong and Yang Jiayin, the Chinese production features a talented ensemble, comprising young performers from the Beijing People's Art Theatre alongside seasoned actors, with Fu Jia taking on the lead role of the miser, Harpagon.
Paying homage to the renowned French writer Moliere, who embarked on a 13-year theatrical journey across various regions outside the major cities of France, the Chinese adaptation cleverly weaves in a narrative that unfolds against the backdrop of a traveling theater company, mirroring Moliere's own experiences. As the play within the play, The Miser, takes center stage, audiences are treated to a comedic portrayal of the unforeseen mishaps and unplanned situations that arise during the performances.
This adaptation marks a significant addition to the theater's legacy, as the Beijing People's Art Theatre first brought The Miser to the Chinese stage in 1959, a mere 10 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the 1980s, the company revisited the classic, demonstrating its enduring appeal and relevance to contemporary audiences.
