Tokyo, 1960. Blinded fifteen years earlier in a US firebombing raid, a young man becomes the subject of a bitter custodial battle. Still traumatised, his psychotic outbursts expose a hidden wartime legacy of trauma and denial. A radical reworking of the fourteenth-century text, Mishima's gripping 'Modern Noh' offers a poetic blend of traditional and modern aesthetics. Performed here in English for the first time, this is a rare opportunity to see the work of Japan's most influential twentieth-century writer. Performed in Japanese with English surtitles (Pre-show talk with Yukio Ninagawa, Fri Jun 29, free admission to ticket holders). Run time 1hr 45mins.
