"To be, or not to be," a question left by Hamlet 400 years ago, now has a new interpretation.

English playwright, poet and actor William Shakespeare's renowned tragedy "Hamlet" was adapted into an original Chinese musical that premiered in Shanghai in May. Fusing oriental elements and perspectives, the musical interprets the Western classic in a new way, which has been well-received by Chinese audiences.
