Why make time for it

A new generation of performers takes on Liu Yong’s attempt to expose corrupt officials while navigating court etiquette. This is the central chapter of the larger serial, rather than the complete cycle. Tianchan Yifu’s theatre setting makes it a focused introduction to this particular Peking opera production.
