This is the third Japanese play I worked on, a very different kind of play than the first two. It was big hit in Japan, running for months, if not longer, in Tokyo. It’s getting its first revival there early in 2013, and has recently been published in Japan in a bilingual edition. (It’s the play on top, I’m told.)
