Creativity through the lens of a Playwright and Director
"Creativity is about being able to make something out of nothing."
Stan Lai has been called ‘the major contemporary Asian playwright of his time, perhaps of all time’ (Robert Brustein), ‘the best Chinese-language playwright and director in the world’ (BBC), and ‘Asia’s top theatre director’ (Asiaweek).
Born in the US and raised in America and Taiwan, Lai earned a PhD from UC Berkeley before launching a groundbreaking career in Taiwan. His 40+ plays are celebrated across the Chinese-speaking world, including masterpieces such as A Dream Like a Dream and Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land. He is co-founder of the Wuzhen Theatre Festival and Huichang Theatre Village in China. Theatre Above in Shanghai is a venue dedicated to his oeuvre.
