    Abstract
    This is an extended review of a performance of The Peony Pavilion, by Tang Xianzu (1550-1616), among the most distinguished of all Chinese dramatists. The drama is in the form of Kunqu, formerly the style of Chinese drama popular among the educated elite. This particular revival is performed at the ancient Imperial Granary, which has been made into a small theatre. The review discusses the performance and surrounding issues in detail, its main conclusion being positive about the performance, the production and the site of performance.This is an extended review of a performance of The Peony Pavilion, by Tang Xianzu (1550-1616), among the most distinguished of all Chinese dramatists.
