Red Demon by Hideki Noda - Youth Theatre production
Directed by the teachers
Performances: Wednesday 2nd to Saturday 5th March, 2011, Bell Theatre
A storm rages at sea. The survivors of a boat wreck are washed up on the shores of an isolated fishing community; a young woman, an outcast from that community, her brother Tombi and Mizukane, an affable grifter. Rescued and revived by the villagers, two days later, That Woman dies. Her brother thinks he understands why and so Tombi tells ‘The Story of My Little Sister who was Killed by Eating a Bowl of Shark’s Fin Soup’.
Hideki Noda’s play, translated from the original Japanese and first performed in the UK at the Young Vic in 2003, explores themes of xenophobia and jealousy in an unusual and humorous manner.
Combining shadow puppetry, live percussion, and elements of Noh theatre, this promises to be a unique and highly entertaining production.
