《虎符》是郭老创作于抗战时期的剧本,在重庆演出过。写的是战国时期,魏公子信陵君与如姬窃符救赵的故事。当时在北京的话剧舞台上演的古装戏、历史剧目不多,特别是第一次上演郭老的剧作也引起人们的重视。这是我和焦菊隐先生继《明朗的天》以后的第二次合作。焦公对传统戏曲有深湛的造诣,他曾任北平戏曲学校的校长。那是由程砚秋创办的专门培养京剧演员的学校,以德和金玉等字排名的弟子遍天下。他 “Tiger symbol” is a play written by Guo in the Anti-Japanese War, performed in Chongqing. Written in the Warring States period, Wei Gongzi Xin Ling Jun and Ji steal the symbol to save Zhao’s story. At that time, the costume drama staged in Beijing’s drama stage had few historical repertoires. In particular, the drama Guo Lao first staged also attracted people’s attention. This is my second cooperation with Mr. Jiao Juyin after “Clear Day”. Jiao Gong profound traditional Chinese opera skills, he served as president of Peking Opera School. It was founded by Cheng Yanqiu specialized training of Beijing opera performers of the school, to Germany and Jinyu rank disciples over the world. he
