A note/correction on a China Daily article posted on May 13 of this year. The article does not mention previous plays written by Mo Yan (mistakenly says that Crocodile is his first). His previous plays are:
- 我们的荆轲 written in 2003 and staged at Beijing People’s Art Theatre (directed by Ren Ming) in 2011/12.
- 霸王别姬 (co-written by Wang Shuzeng), staged at Beijing People’s Art Theatre (directed by Wang Xiangming) in 2000.
- 锅炉工的妻子 staged reading by three actors from Shanghai Theatre Academy at the Shanghai Library in February 2023.
- 离婚 written in 1978 and never performed (no longer extant).
