Description

Japan has a wide range of unique, highly refined performing arts that have developed over centuries. This guide provides a brief history and introduction to the features of each genre, together with recommendations of plays that are accessible to non-Japanese audiences. Brief synopses are provided to approximately fifty selected plays, and well-known popular companies, actors, writers, and directors are introduced. The text is widely illustrated, and includes information about theatre listings, how to get tickets, and which plays are available on DVD. It will be invaluable for anyone planning a visit to Japan and keen to experience its theatre firsthand, as well as providing additional insights for students of Japanese theatre and literature.
