Ping Pong Productions brings actor Tim Robbins and The Actors' Gang to Beijing and Shanghai with the production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
The Actors' Gang, a critically acclaimed Los Angeles-based ensemble, brings William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Academy Award winner Tim Robbins, for six performances in Beijing at the National Centre for the Performing Arts and four performances in Shanghai at the Daguan Theatre, Zendai Himalayas Art Center.
The Actors' Gang is one of the only true theatrical ensembles in the United States that tours internationally. With few U.S. companies touring internationally, the company considers it an honor to bring Shakespeare to China.
Outcomes:
Director Tim Robbins: "For decades I have had the privilege of working with so many talented artists as part of this theatre company, and whenever we go on tour it is a rare and great pleasure to share our passion for theater with artists and audiences throughout the world. We always learn something new, are inspired by other theater artists we meet at festivals and come back to LA richer for the experience. I expect Beijing and Shanghai will be as inspirational, if not more so, than our previous tours."
