The Magnanimous Cuckold
《

 

绿帽�》

A simple marriage, an ambiguous affair; 
a tormenting suspicion, a burden to bear.
How far would a man go, to prove himself a cuckold?

Inspired by Belgian playwright Fernand Crommelynk’s Le Cocu Magnifique (1920), this is an adaptation by Li Xie of a tragic farce that uncovers the complexities behind a simple marriage and the paradoxical magnanimity of a suspicious man.

"The most beautiful thing ever written about jealousy" - Henry Miller on the Crommelynk classic.
