Shanghai Repertory Theatre continues to bring out drama’s big guns with Shakespeare’s King Lear, which will be performed in English with Chinese subtitles.
Local theatre expert Ned Kelly says that while Hamlet is the best role a young actor can hope for, Lear is the pinnacle for more seasoned players. Thomas Caron, who plays Lear, genuflects to the bard, who he says has done most of the work for him: “You don’t play Shakespeare. Shakespeare plays you.”
The performance will be held at the Ke Center for Contemporary Arts, which was previously the Da Ming Rubber Factory. It’s industrial era East meets Jacobean West.

Born in 1961 in Shanghai, Qiu Jie began his career as a political propaganda painter before moving to Switzerland 20 years ago. There he developed a pop political style to depict his vision of the world, creating a realism built up of storyboards and cinematographic shots. His fine pencil strokes evoke memories of his native China – landscapes, portraits, historical or anecdotal scenes in drawings and paintings occasionally extended into the gallery space through accompanying theatrical installations.
Opening reception 6-8pm, 5 February. Until 31 March. Shanghai Gallery of Art, 3F, Three on the Bund, 3 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu, near Guangdong Lu. Tel: 6321 5757
