Jun 30-Jul 1: L’Avare
One of famous French playwright Moliere’s most representative works, L’Avare (also known as The Miser) is a comedy-drama that portrays the meanness and absurdity of a loan shark who loves money. Through use of dramatic conflicts and characters, with dashes of humor and sarcasm, the play’s message (money is power – but an ugly one at that) is evident.
Fri Jun 30-Sat Jul 1, 7.30pm; RMB180-580; Tianqiao Performing Arts Theater, tickets via sales@theatrebeijing.com, see event listing.
July 2: Sip and Scribble
Since beginning last year, Pop-Up Beijing’s Sunday Sip and Scribble class has proved a massive hit. Lazy Sunday afternoons spent creating still-life artworks in warm and welcoming surrounds. Plus, wine. What’s not to love? For complete newbies here’s, how it goes down: Every Sunday afternoon, the boutique holds a casual drawing class for anyone, regardless of level. An instructor is on hand to guide participants and offer expert advice. Past teachers include Liuba, of the whimsical Liuba Draws, and Mr. Glenn (Schuitman, co-proprietor of Pop-Up) himself. The theme and drawing subject changes weekly, so expect to learn something new every class. You’ll become a drawing master in no time – and even if you’re not “into art,” we daresay the shop’s stellar wine selection is more than enough reason to pop in.
Sundays, 3-5pm; RMB95 (includes a drink and drawing materials); Pop-Up Beijing, see event listing.
