In a world where honor is traded for silver and women's fates are written by the men who possess them, Zhao Pan'er Rescues a Courtesan in the Name of Love unfolds as a fierce, moving tale of justice, sisterhood, and survival.

Originally written during the Yuan dynasty and traditionally attributed to the legendary dramatist Guan Hanqing, this play follows the story of Zhao Pan'er, a clever and courageous former courtesan who now runs her own teahouse. When her sworn sister, the gentle and naive Song Yin Zhang, is deceived and brutalized by the abusive Zhou She, Zhao Pan'er refuses to stand by.
