About Shanghai Dolls at The Kiln Theatre in London

When two penniless actresses audition for Ibsen's A Doll's House, they cross paths and quickly become inseperable. 

However, as China is torn apart by political upheaval, their tumultuous friendship will alter the course of their lives - and the course of history itself. 

One will become China's first female director. The other? The architect of the Cultural Revolution. 

Take a step into the true story of how the personal, truly is the political.
