This production is the latest in a succession of modern Western plays premiering in Japan, and follows in the footsteps of "Sixteen Wounded" in 2012, "Time Stands Still" in 2014 and "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" in 2015. The fourth in our series of premieres, this one is a 2014 Pulitzer Prize winner.

The setting is a run-down cinema in Massachusetts where the young characters explore the question of "how should we live now?" in an age of transition from analogue to digital. With the unique style of a writer lauded as a "realistic naturalist", the play portrays the restlessness of young people having to live under various imposed circumstances.

MAKINO Nozomi takes charge of the directing after a 14-year break from the New National Theatre, Tokyo since "The Seagull" in 2002. With HIRAKAWA Daisaku, veteran translator of such works as "OPUS" and "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" working in tandem, this ambitious work is both sensitive and daring.
