Aufführung von The merchant of Venice von William Shakespeare in der Übersetzung von Zhu Shenghao durch das Zhongguo qing nian yi shu ju yuan (China Youth Art Theatre) unter der Regie von Zhang Qihong in Beijing.
Zhang, Qihong. Zai shi jian he tan suo zhong de ji dian ti hui shi tan 'Weinisi Shangren' de dao yan chu li [ID D23956].
Er schreibt : "Time has passed and we are in different countries with distinctive national features. It is for a Chinese audience and for their understanding that we put The merchant of Venice on the Chinese stage. The hostility that existed hundreds of years ago between the christian and jewish religions, between the two peoples, is quite alien to the ordinary Chinese audience of today. After learning that we had chosen The merchant of Venice for our season or else after seeing our performance, many foreign journalists and students visited our theatre. Among the first questions put to us always were why we had chosen this particular play and whether there is any connection between our play and the current situation in Israel. Wasn't it better for us simply to reduce the unessential points made in the play to avoid such unneccessary conjectures and misunderstandings ?"
