Synopsis
The World of Extreme Happiness
Published by Methuen
3 Male 3 Female
The bright neon lights of Shenzhen soon fade and Sunny is left mopping factory floors, though she wants more much more
But her hunger for self-improvement leaves her trapped in the machine of progress as she is forced to face the human cost of wealth, power, fame and honour
Imaginative and wildly energetic, The World of Extreme Happiness is a powerful play journeying through the transformation in contemporary China
Premiered by the UK's National Theatre September, 2013
