Text

Aufführung von Qie guo zei = The usurper of state power = eine chinesische Adaptation von Hamlet und Macbeth von William Shakespeare durch die Yao feng xin ju she (Yaofeng New Drama Group) mit dem Schauspieler Gu Wuwei in Shanghai.
Die Aufführung ist eine Atacke gegen Yuan Shikai.
Die Zeitung Min guo ri bao schreibt : "He [Claudius] is the minister of the court but he usurps the power of the king and the country, and also commits adultery with the queen. He is the brother of the king but he steals his sister-in-law from her husband and seizes state power. To avenge his father's death, the hero has no choice but to sham insanity. In the end death spares no one. What a ruthless tragedy this is !"
Li Ruru : Gu Wuwei, a popular actor who was involved in the production, was arrested and sentenced to death by the authorities on the charge of using drama to incite local disorder. He was not released from prison until Yuan Shikai was overthrown.
