Plays to showcase financial scandals, passion and family

Following its run in Shanghai, the play will be performed at the Shenzhen Grand Theater in Guangdong province on Dec 4 and 5.

From Oct 22-24, Magnificent Culture will stage its Thunderstorm series, its third Shanghai project of the year.

Thunderstorm is a modern Chinese classic written by the late dramatist Cao Yu in the 1930s about a family tragedy, and Thunderstorm II is an interpretation of Thunderstorm's main story by Wan Fang, who is Cao's daughter. Performances of the two productions in Shanghai will mark the seventh leg of a 10-stop national tour for the Thunderstorm series that will kick off in September.

Founded in 2008, Magnificent Culture has produced many successful plays such as The Village, A Dream Like a Dream and Winterreise.
