Pacific Overtures

Work:: Pacific Overtures (S1635)

An isolated Japan, swathed in honour and protected by invincible gods, has a very rude awakening in 1853 by western war ships. A lowly fisherman is sent to insist they turn back only to kick start a chain of events that lead to drastic social change. Pulling on Japanese art forms such as Kabuki and Butoh, Pacific Overtures is an epic tale of how the child becomes the master... Welcome to Japan!

Music	Stephen Sondheim
Lyrics	Stephen Sondheim
Book by	John Weidman
