The Shanghai staging of ‘Sleep No More’ is just the latest iteration in a long history of Chinese ‘Macbeth’ adaptations — but perhaps the most transformative among them.

The play’s history in the country is an interesting one. “The Usurper,” one of its earliest Chinese adaptations, hit the Shanghai stage in 1916 and contained thinly veiled jabs at Yuan Shikai, a warlord who had crowned himself emperor the year before. Decades later, in 1944, the tale reappeared as “Wang Deming,” which was set amid the ongoing violence of World War II. Adapted into a film in 1945 — just four months before Japan’s ultimate surrender — “Wang Deming” was both a call to arms and a way of reassuring audiences that no ill deeds go unpunished.

According to production director Tiffany Zhang, who helped bring “Sleep No More” to Shanghai two years ago, the show’s directors and production team were nervous about how supposedly shy, cautious Chinese audiences would respond to a play that asked them to stop being passive receptors of a story and instead play an active role. Apparently, they needn’t have worried. “[Chinese audiences] need interaction,” Zhang said. “They want interaction.”

The desire for an individualized experience isn’t unique to China, but given how often netizens complain these days about being reduced to passive actors in their own lives, its potency here shouldn’t be underestimated. Whereas more traditional incarnations of “Macbeth” focus on the king, “Sleep No More” focuses on the kingdom. Zhang told me that, as of last year, immersive theater has been cropping up all over China. “I think [‘Sleep No More’] opened this small door,” she said. “There are more and more people interested in this kind of art — or rather, experience.”

Summary of The Missionary

"Set in seventeenth-century India, The Missionary focuses on the relationship between Hilarion, a Portuguese missionary to India, and Luxima, an Indian prophetess. Both are aristocratic, devoted to their religions, bound by vows of chastity, and begin the novel biased against other cultures.

This Broadview Literary Texts edition also includes extensive primary source appendices that situate the novel in relation to Irish, Portuguese and Indian history, as well as to the literature of sensibility and travel writing."--BOOK JACKET.
