Over 50 plays from world renowned directors will be performed at the Great Theatre of China near People’s Square from next month to celebrate its reopening.

The productions from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan and China, most of them making their Chinese debuts, will be staged at the 88-year-old theater through the end of September.

The first batch include “Snow” adapted from Turkish Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk’s novel and US award winner “Disgraced.”
