's popular word-of-mouth drama "The Thief Wants You", which combines hilarious, stunts, absurdity and satire, will return to Hongqiao Art Center from April 19th to April 30th. Come and unlock your happy weekend!
"The Thief Wants You" is adapted from the drama industry's "Oscar" - "Laurence Olivier Best Comedy Award" work "Bank Robbery". The original play ran in London's West End for three years and won the 2017 Olivier Award for Best New Play. The high-quality script and the comedy blessing of the Happy Twist team make the comedy more dense and down-to-earth, making it a must-see drama.
The stage design of the play also amazed the audience with laughter. It is understood that "The Thief Wants You" is Happy Twist's most expensive, most difficult, and most complicated drama.
This play designed a creative 90-degree anti-gravity stage. The actors and the wall form a 90-degree angle. The space changes, and thieves fall from the sky, creating a 3D naked-eye visual effect. Classic elements such as infrared nets and high-altitude wires are also used to perfection. The entire performance complements the sound, light, audio and video, bringing the audience a unique, exciting and immersive theater viewing experience.
's unique creation also makes "The Thief Wants You" the new drama king of Happy Twist, with a Damai score of 9.3 and a Maoyan score of 9.1.
