Majestic Theater to hold slate of celebratory productions

Majestic Theater in Shanghai is celebrating its 81st birthday with a series of local productions in the city.

The first that will be held is The Abyss, an original theater production by the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center. The play, which will run from Oct 12 to 23, was created by renowned theater director He Nian and tells a story with a camera man on the stage shooting closeup videos of the actors' performances. These clips are projected simultaneously on screens strategically placed in the theater.
