Chinese theatre underwent a great experiment under the cultural
revolution. Using the reformed Beijing operas as models, the whole
range of theatre arts, from straight plays to acrobatics and from
ballet to ballads saw a profound transformation. Alongside the
professional theatre, an upsurge of workers' and peasants' amateur
theatre stimulated new developments. This book, first published in
1978, sketches the historical background to these changes and
offers a factual survey of the main forms and characteristics of
Chinese theatre at the time. It traces the rise of the new drama
since 1949 and explores the political principles underlying the
reforms. It examines the new amateur theatre and describes typical
plays and operas staged in China.
