The People's Bard

Author(s): Nancy Pellegrini

CLASSICS

"Shakespeare is, arguably, Britain's most famous literary icon. So how did this uniquely Anglophone playwright come to China? From the first staging of the Merchant of Venice in 1913, to experimental new interpretations on the Chinese stage, his plays touch on universal themes, of love and loss, revenge and guilt, and have the ability to transcend the boundaries of language and culture. Commemorating 400 years of Shakespeare, Nancy Pellegrini explores the unique story of Shakespeare in China and how he came to be The People's Bard."
