The Backstage Clan

English

By (author): Chen Yan

Translated by: Hu Zongfeng, Robin Gilbank

All the worlds a stage, but someone has to build it. Smooth Diaos day is going anything but. Judging by how the stagehands treat him, you wouldnt guess that hes the foreman who makes sure theres food on their tables or that this bunch of yokels work for Xians premier theatre company, where their unseen grafting makes all the dazzling performances possible. Whoever said showbusiness was glamorous? Keeping the gang out of trouble in the city's many dives and cheap noodle bars is a thankless job when all Smooth wants to do is get home in time every night to salvage his third marriage. So, when this motley crew is given a seemingly ideal chance to set the stage for a performance in the nation's capital, its make or break. Can they set their internal drama aside and ignore the sneers of high society long enough to prove their worth? Its time someone noticed who really makes the show go on. See more
