Aufführung von Luomi'ou yu Zhuliye [ID D14237] = Romeo and Juliet von William Shakespeare in der Übersetzung von Tian Han durch die Shanghai ye yu shi yan ju tuan (Shanghai Amateur Experimental Drama Company) unter der Regie von Zhang Min. Zhao Dan spielt Romeo und Yu Peishan Juliet.
Tang, Wen. Luomiou yu Zhuliye : canguan cai pai. In : Da gong bao zeng kan ; 8 Juni (1937).
Er schreibt : "Everything on the stage is black, and immediately you feel the horror and the sadness of death. The set is made from a dozen platforms of different sizes in semi-circular shapes. Along both sides of the stage, there are a chancel, a platform for Juliet's body and hug staircases. Lighting is provided by candles. Accompanied by heartbreaking music, the hero and heroine – one dies and the other comes to life, and then one comes to life and the other dies. How sad ! How touching ! This play will make audiences shed countless tears !"
Li Ruru : The production was of importance in at least one sense : during its run, many reviews and critical analyses were carried in newspapers, journals and magazines. This production initiated a link between translation, performance and criticism in the history of the 'Shakespeare enterprise' in China
It was a production in which Chinese practitioners attempted to implement Constantin Stanislavski's methods in 'hua ju' acting. As a theatrical form based on the established Western theatre with influences taken from Japanese 'shingeki', it was keen to 'grab' anything from abroad, no matter if it was from 'xi yang' (Western – foreign – Europe and America) or from 'dong yang' (Eastern foreign – Japan).
