The Autumn of Han
A new adaptation of a Chinese classic for the European stage, an enthralling story of corruption, revenge and tragic love.

ZhaoJun is a resourceful woman and soon engineers a meeting with the Emperor who, on seeing her, immediately falls in love and in doing so sets off a chain of events that changes all their lives.
