Profile
[Futo-sha]
Established by Shizuka Oishi and Ai Nagai in 1981. Since both were born in the Year of the Rabbit, the troupe was named 'Nitosha.'. Their original works are performed alternately, and they also appear as actors. The group gained popularity with 'quick-change two-person shows' such as "Kazuo," but after Oishi left in 1991, they continued to produce plays written and directed by Nagai.
