摘要

Abstract

As a classic tragicomedy in theatrical history

Stephen Lai's Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring presents two distinct yet interconnected narratives: "Secret Love" and "Peach Blossom Spring." Its "play-within-a-play" structure seamlessly integrates these two temporally distinct dramas into a single performance.This ingenious structure reveals numerous internal connections

allowing audiences to shift between "Secret Love" and "Peach Blossom Spring" while becoming immersed in deeper reflections on the play itself. This interplay of explicit distancing and implicit immersion forges a novel

more captivating theatrical style for Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring.Furthermore

"Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" primarily adopts Hans-Thies Lehmann's "post-dramatic theater" form

pioneering a new theatrical genre distinct from traditional drama.
