The National Theater Company of Korea is set to captivate audiences once more with its signature production, "The Orphan of Zhao: Seeds of Revenge," returning with its sixth run at the Myeongdong Theater in central Seoul from Nov. 30 to Dec. 25. Premiered in 2015, “The Orphan of Zhao” is a reinterpretation of the Chinese "Zaju" drama script of the same title, written by the Yuan Dynast.
Known as China's Hamlet, The Orphan of Zhao, which is a story of revenge, is one of the country's most famous tales. Written by Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) dramatist Ji Junxiang, it was one of the first Chinese plays to be translated for Western audiences.
