Inside No. 9, an adaptation of the acclaimed British dark comedy series and licensed from the BBC, premiered in Shanghai, and has since been performed some 250 times, becoming a hit at the end of last year. The production, co-created with the Shanghai Grand Theater, will move to Beijing at the end of this year, where it will introduce fresh storylines alongside those from its successful Shanghai run.

The celebrated play Deling and Cixi, written by He Jiping and directed by Situ Huizhuo, which was known for its sold-out performances in 2019 and 2021, features its original cast, including Jiang Shan and Wang Hao, with the addition of a number of young actors. After a national tour of nine cities, a new tour will commence in January 2025 with performances in Ningbo, Shanghai, and Beijing.
