Teahouse is one of Lao She’s most famous plays. He wrote it in 1957. The play has three acts.
act n. (戏剧、歌剧或芭蕾舞的)一幕
Teahouse is set in a teahouse called “Yu Tai” in Beijing from 1898 until the eve of the 1949 revolution. First published in 1957, the play is a social and cultural commentary (评论) on the problems, culture, and changes within China during the early twentieth century.
《茶馆》是一部现实主义杰作。它深刻地向观众展现了19世纪末至20世纪中期中国普通老百姓的生活状况。剧本讲述了王利发和他的北京茶馆里的顾客们的故事，作者用高度概括的艺术手段，通过茶馆这个窗口，在三幕剧中分别截取了三个横断面，广泛地展现了50多年的社会变迁。“埋葬旧时代，暗示光明的到来”是《茶馆》所揭示的深刻主题。
