EVENT INFORMATION​

“由中国国家话剧院出品、演出，中国国家话剧院院长田沁鑫执导的话剧《四世同堂》，再现文学巨匠老舍先生极具分量的代表之作。”

Produced and presented by the National Theatre of China (NTC) and directed by Tian Qinxin, President of the NTC, Four Generations in One House brings to the stage one of the most significant works by literary master Lao She.

Set during a transformative period in China’s modern history, the story follows the lives and inner struggles of ordinary families in Beiping as they navigate social change and moral choice. Regarded by Lao She as possibly his finest work, the novel is recognised among the “Top 100 Chinese Novels” and is celebrated for its enduring literary, artistic, and cultural significance.

Using a “New Realism” approach, the production recreates the everyday life of a Beijing hutong, weaving together family relationships, personal destinies, and the quiet resilience of ordinary people. Through restrained yet powerful performances and detailed period staging, Four Generations in One House unfolds as a deeply human story—one that reflects cultural memory, emotional depth, and the timeless complexity of family and society.
