Three brothers return
Beijing People's Art Theater is restaging its 1995 classic play God's Favorite (Tianzhi Jiaozi), part of playwright Guo Qihong's historic trilogy. Set in the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220-280), the play tells of the fights among three brothers Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, who were sons of warlord Cao Cao. The play tries to look at history from new perspectives: personal existence and reasonableness of values.
7:30 pm, till Feb 15 (except Feb 9 and 10). Capital Theater, 22 Wangfujing Dajie, Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-5949-2221.
