Why make time for it

Ben Kidd and Bush Moukarzel help reshape the early play around questions of public judgment and problematic protagonists. Screen images and onstage action run alongside each other, complicating what the audience is watching. The production is at Huangpu Cultural Centre’s Da Shanghai Theatre, not Shanghai Grand Theatre.
