Three actors, 20-plus roles – just one play. "Can Three Make It" is a wickedly funny black comedy that was penned by the late Li Kuo-hsiu – also known as Hugh Lee – a legendary actor and theater director from China's Taiwan, and premiered in Taipei in 1987. The groundbreaking theatrical production has recently received a bold remake by Fan Kwang-yao, renowned Taipei-based actor and a student of Li. Fan's new version made its debut in September 2019 at Beijing's Longfu Theater where it received rave reviews and rapturous applause as the curtain fell. It then had 20 consecutive performances in November and December.
