TEARJERKER MAKES IT TO STAGE

The lead player in a new version of a hit musical tells of how the latest rendering pulls on her heart strings, Cheng Yuezhu reports.

The 1983 classic Taiwan film Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing? (Da Cuo Che), which reduced viewers to tears with its heartrending representation of familial love, has been turned into a musical.

The musical, titled An Accident of Love, made its world premiere at Taichung Theater in Taiwan recently and is due to tour Chinese mainland venues in November.
