On the cusp

Businesswoman brings 'immersive' theater to China amid diversifying audience tastes. Chen Nan reports.

Three years ago, when Zhong Lifang was in New York, she went to watch an "immersive" theater production Sleep No More, which was adapted from William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

It wasn't a conventional theater experience for her and other members of the audience as they followed the play's actors and actresses as they performed some scenes from the play through parts of a large building.
