Description

Description

Three excerpts from Tomb of the Fragrant Gown: “View from the Room”, “The Trial” and “Encounter on the Road”

Playwright: Tong Tik-sang

Military officer Zhao Shizhen is married to Lin Ruixiang, a devoted wife and mother. But Zhao is a jealous man. When he finds his wife’s sash in the room of the family teacher Lu Shike, he is quick to accuse his wife of adultery. Although the sash was accidentally left in the teacher’s room by their son, Zhao flies into a jealous rage, and tests his wife by forcing her to flirt with the teacher. Horrified, Lu leaves the family residence. Sometime later, Zhao encounters a bandit while inspecting his land. After strangling the man with his wife’s sash, he cuts off his head and continues on the tour of his land. When the headless corpse is discovered along with Lin’s sash, it is presumed to be the body of Zhao, who has not returned home, and Lin is arrested and accused of his murder. The official in charge of the case is the family’s former teacher Lu. Biased against Lin because of earlier events, he finds her guilty and sentences her to death. But will Zhao return soon enough to save her?
