A Hong Kong stage adaptation of the Chinese folk tale of the "butterfly lovers" with a modern twist is coming to the mainland soon.
The Art School Musical has been produced by Edward Lam, a Hong Kong-based theater director, essayist and art educator, and will be staged in Shanghai over April 1-3.
When the production premiered in Hong Kong in 2014, critics saw it as a successful case of re-creating an age-old folk tale in the modern-day world.
