Academy Award-winning actor Tim Robbins’ Actors Gang<\/strong> is coming to Beijing in June, to present, appropriately, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0The Los Angeles Times<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The play will get a five-day run at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) from June 10-15<\/strong>, then four performances over three days in Shanghai, June 19-21. Ticket information<\/a> for both performances is already online, although tickets for the Beijing shows are not yet on sale.<\/p>\n

Robbins, the Actors Gang’s artistic director, will direct the China performances, the LA Times<\/em>said. He is best known for his Oscar-winning supporting role in The Shawshank Redemption<\/em>, and for baseball movie Bull Durham<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Although Robbins isn’t performing, Beijing stages are occasionally graced with top Western acting talent in top productions. Kevin Spacey <\/strong>appeared in Richard III\u00a0<\/em>in late 2011, to wide acclaim. In 1984, Arthur Miller<\/strong> directed a production of his Death of a Salesman\u00a0<\/em>in Beijing. Yes, I realize that’s a big gap between 1984 and 2011. There was also the whole Chicago\u00a0<\/em>debacle<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
