This play is an original story set in Japan, but inspired by the well-known film "Over the Cuckoo's Nest", one of the representative works of the New American Cinema. The script for this production was written by Akito INUI especially for the BUNGAKUZA Theater Company. Inui won The Noma Literary Prize for New Writers in 2016 for his novel "A Dull Man: Actor, Takuji Kameoka", which was adapted to film that same year. Kanade TOKORO, a member of the BUNGAKUZA Production Department, directs the play. His philosophical adaptation of Shugoro YAMAMOTO's "The Story of AOBEKA, a Blue Boat" with which he made his debut as a director for the BUNGAKUZA Atelier Showcase was well received. In May of 2019, Japan will enter into a new era. We are proud to present this humorous drama of comically boisterous characters set within the World that depicts INUI's unique worldview.
