Publisher's Synopsis
Inspired by Gustave Le Bon's prophetic 1894 study of crowd psychology and Henrik Ibsen's 'An Enemy of the People', this is a searing play by China's most produced living playwright, Yu Rongjun. Set in Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, from the Cultural Revolution to the present day, it pitches the forces of irrational mass frenzy against the powerless struggle of the individual - with tragic consequences.
