Greek History 101, anyone? I don't think so! Make way for "The Boys From Syracuse," a hilarious adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors," brought to you by Tokyo's most popular English-language theatre company, Tokyo International Players.
The Bard himself would be rolling over this laugh-a minute romp tracking the meanderings of two sets of twins through the misguided machinations of mistaken identity, slapstick antics and wacky romance via the melodious score written by Richard Rodgers and Larry Hart which has delighted audiences since its Broadway opening in 1938. Filled with such jazz standards as "This Can't Be Love" and "Falling In Love With Love", this fun-filled musical comedy promises an evening of pure enjoyment.
Veteran director, Hank Roberts commands a multi-talented cast of 23 which includes actors Jonathan Mercer, Fiona Knight, Brett Coleman, Amy Jorrisch, Nori Konishi, Jun Imal, and Jane Mullooly; musical direction by April Racana and choreography by Colleen Lanki.

Tokyo Actors Repertory Company Presents The Chrysanthemum and the Rose at the Panasonic Globe Tokyo April 3, 4, and 5
Two women - Two cultures - One friendship ------ The Chrysanthemum and the Rose combines laughter and tears at the misunderstandings of two women thrown together to live and work on the edge of each others’ culture in the UK98 Festival production at he Panasonic Globe Theater in Tokyo. The highly original play portrays their joys and frustrations, their fights and friendship.
Often hilariously funny, yet deeply poignant, the play takes the audience on a journey in time from modern Japan to Meiji and back. Seldom does an opportunity to enjoy a mirror of our own cultural experiences and a window on a past era present itself in a single evening of pure entertainment.
