Poly Theater to stage Stan Lai's renowned play

BEIJING, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Renowned play "A Dream Like A Dream" directed by Stan Lai, will come back to Beijing Poly Theater, China Daily reported Tuesday.

Watching the eight-hour-production is in itself something like a dream. The plotline tells several interwoven stories, starting with a medical school graduate's first day at a hospital, during which four of her five patients die.

None of her medical knowledge can stop it until she turns to psychology for her fifth patient.

The play will be staged between Dec. 20 and 24.
