Production Description
Inspired by the true-life heroism of his fatherʻs friend, Da Pidgin Gorilla Lee A. Tonouchi has created a work of Magical Realism and audience interaction exploring love, communication, and forgiveness. When two brothers go fishing, the ocean takes them on a metaphysical journey allowing them to reconcile as the older brother comes to terms with his relationship to their father and his tragic death.
Director Taurie Kinoshita had this to say about the play, "40 years ago, a man was struck down at the height of his life (he was only 41 years old) trying to save children in Hawaiʻi. This play is a story of real-life heroism and it deserves to be told and remembered. In addition to his exquisite use of comic and tragic elements, the nuance with which Lee Tonouchi portrays the characters (they all sound like real people, people we all know), and the commemoration of such an inspiring true event, the major theme of the play is invaluable-we all need each other, no one can make it on their own."
There will be a post show discussion with members of the cast and crew following the performance on January 27th.
