THE Shanghai International Contemporary Theater Festival, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, continues to invite theater groups from home and abroad to offer audiences a drama feast.

Nearly two dozen plays will be put on stage. In the highlighted Jon Foss Section, five dramas by the playwright will be staged: “A Summer’s Day,” “Dream of Autumn,” “I am the Wind,” “Deathvariations” and “Someone is Going to Come.” They will be presented, respectively, by theater groups from Russia, Iran, Italy, India and China’s Fujian Province.

“Waiting for Godot,” the classic absurdity play, will be presented by Gare St Lazare of Ireland. “The Tale of Lear” and “The Bald Soprano,” both written by Japanese theater director Suzuki Tadashi, are also recommended.
