"Red Rose and White Rose," another of "Lust, Caution" author
Eileen Chang's works, had a sold-out theatrical premiere on Sunday
in Nanjing of eastern China's Jiangsu Province.
The play, starring Qin Hailu, Hu Jingfan, Xin Baiqing and Gao
Hu, was so successful that some viewers jumped onto the stage
asking for autographs at the end of the show.
"Red Rose and White Rose" is about a man named Zhenbao, who is
married to a quiet lady, White Rose, but is drawn to another
married woman, Red Rose.
Sunday's show was a trial run before it will be staged from
December 27 to 31 as a tribute to Eileen Chang in her hometown of
Shanghai. It will eventually join the performance season of the
National Grand Theater in Beijing on January 8.
