Editor's note: Drama casts the spotlight on the great English writer Shakespeare and roles from Chinese famous author Lao She; meanwhile, there is a concert focused on classical movie music songs. Here are three events you won't want to miss this week.

1，Monologues: Revel's World of Shakespeare

Revel's World of Shakespeare was written and will be performed and directed by Joseph Graves.
