Secret Love for Peach Blossom Land follows two plays at the same time—one a bawdy retelling of a classic Chinese fable, the other a poignant story of a couple separated in the wake of China’s 1949 revolution—collide onstage when two acting troupes accidentally book the same theatre for rehearsals.

Our student Director Shiyi Shen reworked the play to be set in Boston’s Chinatown, leading the cast and creative team through research and dramatic interpretation of our relationship with the old and the new.

“暗恋”和“桃花源”是两个不相干的剧组，他们都与剧场签定了当晚彩排的合约，双方争执不下，谁也不肯相让。由于演出在即，他们不得不同时在剧场中彩排，遂成就了一出古今悲喜交错的舞台奇观。
