"Teahouse", a classic play written by Chinese literatary master Lao She, will be performed in Washington, D.C., in the United States, from October 27-29, as a major part of the Chinese culture festival.

"Teahouse", which has enticed generations of Chinese, explores the vicissitudes of modern Chinese society in one special venue -- a small teahouse, which caters to various kinds of people.

An excellent script, elite direction and talented performances have made "Teahouse" a "classic among classics" in China.

Since its debut in 1958, "Teahouse" has joined the repertoire of the Beijing People's Art Theater, and has been performed more than 500 times.

An official with the theater said that besides Washington D.C., "Teahouse" will also be played in the US cities of Houston, Los Angeles, and New York.
