SECRET LOVE IN PEACH BLOSSOM LAND by Stan Lai opens today at Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Show number six of the 2015 season at Oregon Shakespeare Festival opens today down in Ashland.

How big of a deal is SECRET LOVE IN PEACH BLOSSOM LAND by Stan Lai in modern Chinese drama?

Big enough that there are multiple news crews from China and Taiwan in Ashland covering the American premiere.

Sounds like if you have yet to point the chariot southwards this season it’s now officially time.

Coming next – the outdoor stage opens June 12-14. Ze piece de resistance there? It’s gotta be Jeff Whitty’s world premiere HEAD OVER HEELS, featuring music by the Go-Go’s.
