Huichang's Lai returns home to liven up theater scene

Nestled between the busy and narrow streets of downtown Huichang, the county's sole theater is an unassuming venue.

Its modest doors struggle to stand out in the concrete jungle, offering little clue as to the quality hidden inside.

The audience quickly fills the three-story 1,000-seat Theater of Huichang County, in East China's Jiangxi province. They don't know what to expect - few have seen anything similar to the unfolding play.
