| Description |
A ruthless and charismatic blind villain robs, cheats and murders his way up through the ranks of society in the rigid hierarchy of 17th century Japan. His ambition is to join the ranks of the Kengyo, the exclusive, privileged and powerful class of blind men. With its brilliant blend of horror and comedy, this stunningly visual production from one of modern Japan's top directors won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Play at the Edinburgh International Festival. Highly original, The Great Doctor Yabuhara is a fascinating combination of comedy, drama and music. |
