关于《白蛇》

《白蛇》是近年来美国戏剧最富盛名的一部作品，由托尼奖得主玛丽·辛默曼创作并执导，取材自中国家喻户晓的民间故事。

该剧在俄勒冈莎士比亚节上首演，并在美国全境进行巡回演出。这部作品在亚洲的首演是由著名的芝加哥顾得曼剧场制作的。作为2014年第二届乌镇戏剧节的闭幕大戏，它将以压轴形式惊艳亮相，其象征意义与开幕大戏《青蛇》遥相呼应。两部不同的作品取材于同一个中国民间故事，中美最杰出的女性导演，深刻地表现出今年乌镇戏剧节的主题——“化”。

《白蛇》是一场视觉飨宴，充满幽默与动人的情感，使观众沉醉于其中，无法自拔。

About The White Snake

The White Snake is one of the most acclaimed pieces of American theatre in recent years, written and directed by Tony award-winning Mary Zimmerman.

The play was first staged at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and has been restaged for a U.S. tour. This production, the Asian premiere, is produced by the renowned Goodman Theatre of Chicago. As the closing performance of the 2014 Wuzhen Festival, it forms a symbolic bookend to the Festival's opening play Green Snake, which is based on the same fable, and reflects deeply on the theme of this year's festival, "Metamorphosis." 

Funny, moving and stunningly staged, White Snake is a ravishing theatrical spectacle that enchants and delights.
