Business Overview
An original work that boldly reimagines Shakespeare's last play, The Tempest, as a modern-day version, and also reflects the state of the world in the aftermath of COVID-19, the production includes directors and cast members with disabilities from Japan, the UK, and Bangladesh. Because the backgrounds of the actors were diverse, such as nationality and culture, as well as the presence or absence of disabilities and the types of disabilities, techniques that took advantage of these differences were adopted in the staging. Starring: Jenny Seelay Starring: Hiroe Ohashi, Yasushi Oka Starring: Hiroe Ohashi, Sachika Segawa, Rio Sekiba, Hidetada Tashiro, Kazumi Hiratsuka, Kotaro Yanagi, Sakura Yoshitomi Starring: (UK) Philippa Cole, Fatima Niemoga, Jack Hunter/(Bangladesh) Mohammad Saddam Bipally, Moshed Mia
