British theater beams into china

Broadcast allows audiences to watch theater being performed on the other side of the world. Chen Jie reports.

Chinese theatergoers are enjoying a treat this summer with Britain's National Theater Live broadcasting 10 shows in Beijing and Shanghai, including productions featuring actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston.

Britain's National Theater Live, known as NT Live, first came to China in June 2012, when it broadcast Frankenstein starring Cumberbatch, at Beijing's MOMA Broadway Cinema. Tickets sold out within hours.
