In the past decades, Beijing People's Art Theatre has made few attempts at adapting the play. This time around veteran female director Chen Xinyi, along with renowned actors Xu Fan, Hu Jun, and Pu Cunxin are trying to fill in the gap.

Chen Xinyi, director, said, "I've always been a big fan of Cao Yu and Beijing People's Art Theatre. But I have waited so many years until the 72nd year of my life that I finally can direct a play by Cao Yu. I'm very proud to present my interpretation of one of his greatest works to you, although I wish I could have more days to polish the performance."

"The Wilderness" is the last play of four plays to be staged by Beijing People's Art Theatre in remembrance of its first Artistic Director, Cao Yu.

The play will run at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing until October 7th.
