新素材 英文版《牡丹亭》首演 A great cultural event took place in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. The English-language *The Peony Pavilion* (牡丹亭) by Tang Xianzu was performed in China for the first time. At the same time, *A Midsummer Night's Dream* and *The Dream of Nanke* were also performed. These plays created a dialogue across time and space and showed the shared human feelings of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare.
Tang Xianzu from China and William Shakespeare from England were great writers during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Though they never met, their works share many similarities. Their works were about themes like love, life and human spirits, and often used "dreams" in plays to express feelings that still touch people today. This idea was shown clearly at a gala held by CCTV in Fuzhou.
In the drama *Tang & Shakespeare*, *The Peony Pavilion* and *Romeo and Juliet* appeared on the same stage. The performance showed Eastern "pure love" and Western "devoted love", proving that writers from different cultures can express similar feelings about love and life.
The English-language *The Peony Pavilion* was successful in bringing Eastern and Western cultures together. However, it also faced a challenge: how to make the special singing and music of Kunqu opera easy to understand for English people? To solve this problem, the actors used rhythms often found in Shakespeare's plays and mixed Western and Chinese styles in movement, dance and music. With actors from different countries, the

performance became a real cultural exchange, not just a translation.
Another exciting part of the event was the "Tang-Shakespeare Legacy: Youth Dialogue", which brought together young actors from China and the UK. These young artists not only keep traditions alive, but also bring new ideas to classic works. Their work proves that cultural differences are bridges, not barriers(障碍). As we witness the exchange, we are reminded that the influence of Tang and Shakespeare is not limited to their time but lives on in every play, every shared story, and every heart it touches.
1. What do we know about Tang and Shakespeare according to the passage?
A. They worked together to write plays.
B. They were writers in different periods.
C. They wrote plays in the same country.
D. They used dreams to express feelings.
2. Why are young artists important in this cultural event?
A. They help make the performance shorter.
B. They bring new life to traditional works.
C. They follow old traditions without change.
D. They decide which plays to be performed.
3. Which idea is best supported by the passage as a whole?
A. Chinese artists play an important role in this cultural event.
B. Traditional art should be protected without making changes.
C. Cultural differences lead to misunderstandings without dialogue.
D. Cultural exchange helps classical works connect different cultures.
