Synopsis:
"华人世界最受欢迎之作品。"—《纽约时报》
台湾表演工作坊赖声川的经典创作，当代华人剧场新里程碑《暗恋桃花源》，10年后重返华艺节舞台。
这部长演不衰，屡获殊荣的舞台剧，讲述的是两个毫不相干的剧团，因为剧场管理人员的失误，在同一舞台同一时间争相排戏——这一边厢演着时装悲剧《暗恋》，另一边厢则演出古装喜剧《桃花源》，两剧导演和演员在彼此的场景剧幕中穿梭，尽管各排各的，但观众看到的是两边台词竟然可以交相呼应的一台戏！严肃中不断闹出笑话，混乱中又展现和谐，最终呈现一台泪中带笑，笑中带泪的演出。
古今交错，悲喜掺半，由资深导演丁乃筝执导的30周年纪念版《暗恋桃花源》，再一次呈示了人性里共同的梦想与无奈，其演员阵容强大，有《暗恋》樊光耀、朱芷莹、范瑞君、张复建、杜知晨、林妤柔、周宇柔、叶育德，《桃花源》屈中恆、唐从圣、 张本渝、翁铨伟、林维哲。
"[Stan Lai is] the best Chinese-language playwright and director in the world." BBC
"Lai's most famous work Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land may be the most popular contemporary play in China." – The New York Times
A beloved modern classic that holds a special place in hearts around the world.
Making its Singapore debut at Esplanade 10 years ago, Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land by celebrated Taiwanese playwright and theatre director Stan Lai and Performance Workshop returns to Huayi.
Two theatre groups are mistakenly booked into the same space for rehearsals. One rehearses the poignant play Secret Love which tells of a couple separated by the revolution, while the other runs through the farcical period comedy Peach Blossom Land. As the two groups struggle for control of the stage, resulting in chaos and numerous comic squabbles, their contrasting worlds begin to come together, creating surprising new layers of meaning that are arrestingly moving and universally felt.
Regarded as a masterwork of contemporary Chinese theatre, Performance Workshop's special 30th-anniversary production of Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land is directed by award-winning theatre director and filmmaker Ismene Ting and features a stellar cast that includes Golden Bell Award winners and popular Taiwanese television and stage personalities.
