Description
1587, A Year of No Significance was staged 5 times with 47 performances in 7 years, and it has won word of mouth from all sectors.
Director Tsui Hark describes it as “rich cautionary experimental theatre”.
The performance was based closely on the book of the same title by Ray Huang, the legendary scholar renowned in Asia, America and Europe, and it is highly regarded among historians and scholars. The script of this performance is a collaboration of Mathias Woo with Zhang Jian-wei, the screenplay writer of the controversial television historical drama, For the Sake of the Republic. The performance evolves around six monologues delivered by the six characters from the book, and the story is focused on the year 1587, a bland year with no distant events in the Ming Dynasty, and yet bearing great impact on the history of China in the following decades.
