Renowned playwright and theater director Stan Lai premiered his new work "Watch TV with Me" in Shanghai on Thursday.
The play, starring Cheng Qian, Liu Yunlong and Fang Fang as well as pop singers Lin Yilun and Jeff Chang, reviews the 30 years of China's reform and opening up. It tells the stories of three couples, a tramp and a textile worker.
Veteran actress Cecilia Yip Tung and mainland rising star Yang Ruoxi also star. Audiences spoke highly of the drama and praised it as a solid training base for first-time theater performers Cecilia and Yang.
Liu Yunlong was applauded for his excellent performance despite suffering from a fever at the time.
Stan Lai is most famous for "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land," which has toured worldwide. After the performance in 上海, "Watch TV with Me" will be staged in various cities including 杭州, and will conclude in 北京 in December.
