Business Overview

This play was written and directed by Yamamoto Ito and was based on the Argentinian novelist Adolfo Bioy-Casares' "The Plan to Break Out of Prison". Interviews are conducted with the performers at the time about an incident caused by the 'director' at the premiere of "The Plan to Break Out of Jail," which is said to have been performed in the past, and the stage at the time of the premiere is reproduced. This work asks the question of what a play is and what it means to play a role in theater or society, while referring to the techniques of J-horror and others. The three members of the Dr. Holiday Laboratory were Ito Yamamoto, playwright/director, Robin Manabat, actor, and Riho Onodera, producer. The performers are Asahi Ishikawa, Tao Kurosawa, Hiyori Geta, Fumiyasu Yui and Robin Manabatt.
