The students, under the direction of Craig MacDonald, an associate professor of drama, will present a rendition of Shakespeare's "King Lear." They'll be working with students from PKU and professional actors in preparation for an October performance. The production will be shown as part of Beijing's first National Chinese Shakespeare Festival. Timothy Bond, producing artistic director for Syracuse Stage and the Department of Drama, was a visiting artist at PKU while he worked as the associate artistic director for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
