Snow in Midsummer archiveExecuted for a murder she did not commit, young widow Dou Yi vows that if she is innocent, snow will fall in midsummer and a catastrophic drought will strike. Three years later, a businesswoman visits the parched, locust-plagued town to take over an ailing factory. When her young daughter is tormented by an angry ghost, the new factory owner must expose the injustices Dou Yi suffered before the curse destroys every living thing. A contemporary re-imagining of one of the most famous Classical Chinese dramas, Snow in Midsummer is the first production in our Chinese Translations Project, a cultural exchange bringing Chinese classics to a modern western audience.
