基本資料

跨越四百多年的愛情神話，明代劇作家湯顯祖最膾炙人口的作品—《牡丹亭》，描寫名門閨秀杜麗娘與書生柳夢梅一段跨越生死的纏綿戀曲。







《牡丹亭》故事講述大家閨秀杜麗娘和書生柳夢梅的生死之戀，是一齣歌頌青春、愛情與生命的劇作，劇作家田漢甚至作詩：「杜麗如何朱麗葉，情深真已到梅根。何當麗句鎖池館，不讓莎翁在故村。」認為其媲美羅密歐與茱麗葉的淒美愛情。







青春版《牡丹亭》由白先勇、蘇州崑劇院攜手兩岸文化及戲曲精英全新打造，遵循只刪不改原則，用新時代的審美觀、現代劇場的概念，以傳統作為根基，保留戲曲寫意抽象的空間，以簡馭繁，以古老的傳統樣式、純正的崑劇風貌，將傳世經典以青春靚麗的形式呈現在世人面前，重現「中國文學最美麗的一則愛情神話」。歷時20年，超過400場的演繹，青春版《牡丹亭》正是風華正茂的20年。
