Mahua FunAge Drama QR Code Killer

Date: Sept 13-14 - 7:30 pm

Venue: Beijing Comedy Theatre

Price: 180-680 yuan

Is the motive unknown? And so is the method or eyewitness? Six people are killed within 3 years, yet there is nothing but a QR code left on the scenes. Is this what is so-called perfect crime? The bodies stabbed in the head with a knife disappear incredibly, and is this going to get the case investigation beyond control? The stage set is renovated and refined to create a city of sin that looks both illusive and real. The stage looks like a real one from which you can see the Oscar award ceremony, the Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in the Chinatown, the American street and the pleasure ground.
