For the Shanghai Cultural Bureau, theater is sweet and sour.
Sour, because Chinese theater has a history of critiquing corrupt officials. So modern plays are intensely scrutinized and nothing social or political is allowed.
Theater is sweet, because there is a big audience. There?s cash -- and cachet -- for those who have a finger in the theatrical pie. So plays are scrutinized yet again, and nothing non-commercial is allowed.
Shanghai playwrights turn out white-collar comedies and domestic dramas.
