Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm" is still pouring, and the shouts from Tianjin People's Art Theatre are even more resonant!

The drama master Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm" is the dramatic enlightenment for many and the cornerstone of Chinese realist drama. As time flows, this century-spanning classic shines with even greater charm!

Tianjin People's Art Theatre has been producing "Thunderstorm" since 1956, with authentic performances and a reverence for this masterpiece of classic craftsmanship, earning repeated praise from Cao Yu himself. Every adaptation brings a new interpretation, allowing you to see yourself in the characters!

You may have performed or analyzed it on campus, or seen other opera types or drama troupes' versions, but Tianjin People's Art Theatre's "Thunderstorm" is a must-see, worth watching again and again!

A 90-year evergreen, Tianjin People's Art Theatre's "golden brand" guarantees overwhelming acclaim! When veteran actors share the stage, the drama reaches its peak—it's simply exhilarating!

"Thunderstorm" is a tale of love and hatred unique to the old era. You will see Zhou Puyuan's sternness as his obsession with the past, understand Fanyi's madness as her yearning for freedom, and glimpse Lu Shiping's inner resilience beneath her endurance.

This is a tragedy of the times; every thunderclap questions human nature and reflects the shadow of national affairs. Each character is rich and full of tension, every dramatic conflict gripping, and the ending with three deaths and two madnesses leaves many hearts unsettled.

The most striking line hits the mark: "The thunderstorm in the language textbook that never stopped raining drenched me years later"… This long-sealed story unfolds again. Decades of grudges and entanglements of fate across generations—what fireworks will they ignite this time?

On November 14-15, at 7:30 PM, see you at Hangzhou Dongpo Grand Theatre to witness the echo of a classic!
