Penn Chinese Theatre Presents "Love in a Fallen City"
"Love in a Fallen City" unfolds against the backdrop of the 1940s in the bustling cities of Shanghai and Hong Kong. The narrative centers on Bai Liusu, a stunningly beautiful woman who has endured the stigma of divorce in a time when such an event was considered a profound disgrace. Having emerged from a loveless marriage, Bai Liusu faces the scorn and judgment of her extensive family, leading to an increasingly intolerable existence within her own home. This poignant tale delves into themes of love, societal expectations, and the quest for personal redemption amidst the chaos of war-torn China.
