Hong Kong stage queen Perry Chiu returns to Shenzhen this weekend with her Cantonese play “The Golden Cangue,” adapted from legendary Shanghai writer Eileen Chang’s 1950 novella of the same name.

    Directed by Hong Kong award-winning movie director Ann Hui and written by prolific mainland writer Wang Anyi, the play centers on a woman who marries for money but finds herself wedded to the bedridden son of a wealthy family in the early 1900s. Lonely, she becomes attracted to her husband’s brother. Caught in the frustration of her situation, she then embarks on a path of decadent self-destruction with an opium addiction and the obsessive ruination of her children.

    Time: 8 p.m., April 28-29
