The plot of the musical will be the story of a certain company, whose workers suddenly realize their oppressed position and gradually begin to comprehend the secret of surplus value.
The musical is scheduled to premiere early next year.
As The Guardian notes, this is not the first attempt to bring Marx's famous work to the theatrical stage. Capital was first staged in Japan back in the 1930s, and the Japanese production was later translated into Chinese. In addition, in 2007, a play based on Capital was staged in Germany.
