A man’s struggle to seek justice at all costs... Theatre | China Inspired by Gustave Le Bon’s prophetic 1894 study of crowd psychology The Crowd: A Study of Popular Mind and Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People,The Crowd is a searing play by China’s most produced living playwright Nick Yu, directed by award-winning Hong Kong actor-director Tang Wai-kit. Set in Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, from the Cultural Revolution to the present day, The Crowd pitches the forces of irrational mass frenzy against the powerless struggle of the individual - with tragic consequences. This daring collaboration between Shanghai and Hong Kong theatre makers investigates one man’s struggle to seek justice at all costs; and culminates in a rendezvous on a fateful day in Hong Kong. Will revenge settle old scores or open up new wounds?
