Aufführung von Shei sha si le gua wang = Adaptation von Hamlet von William Shakespeare durch die Shanghai Thatre Academy nach dem Drehbuch von Cao Lusheng unter der Regie von Gu Yian.
Li Ruru : The focus of this production was passion : the passion between man and woman, and the passion for power. The adapters drew their inspiration from Hamlet's phrase "To be, or not to be", but because there is no exact equivalent for "to be" in Chinese, they decided on a more sensational Chinese title with the literal meaning "Who kills the king". The king at the center of the story is Hamlet's father, but in this adaptation the king's three closest relatives, his brother, wife and son, are each planning to poison him.
