Scholar Dong and Lady Li was a newly written play adapted from a short story entitled Crows by You Fengwei. A rich landlord Peng asked Scholar Dong to observe his wife Lady Li after his death because he would not want his widow to remarry. Dong followed Peng’s instructions strictly but unexpectedly he himself fell in love with Lady Li. The clip shows Dong climbing over the wall to observe Li at midnight, after hearing a strange noise.
Director Lu Ang incorporated performing skills from other regional theatres into the production and the stage design adopted much of modern techniques.
