The Autumn Of Han
A new adaptation of a Chinese classic for the European stage, an enthralling story of corruption, revenge and tragic love.
MaoYanShou, a minister of the Han court, is selecting new concubines for the Emperor’s harem, but when the beautiful ZhaoJun refuses to supply him with his usual bribe he makes sure she’s hidden away in a forgotten wing of the palace. ZhaoJun is a resourceful woman and soon engineers a meeting with the Emperor who, on seeing her, immediately falls in love and in doing sets off a chain of events that changes all their lives.
The Autumn of Han is adapted by published playwright, Ross Ericson, specifically for the British stage, and is performed in English.
‘Beautifully captures the majesty and beauty of the Han Dynasty era... A wonderful experience to explore the culture and traditions of ancient China through their own mythology, in a manner that will appeal to everyone' (British Theatre Guide)
'Sumptuously costumed... evocatively traditional-style music heightening its Oriental mood... melodramatic elements and stately quality befitting its setting... a richly talented ensemble' (The Stage).
