“[Yu Murai is] among Japan’s most innovative contemporary playwright-directors…” -Asian Theatre Journal
Written and directed by Yu Murai.
Get ready for a night of laughs and literary mashups as Theater Company Kaimaku Pennant Race (KPR) returns to Japan Society with their latest production, Hamlet | Toilet. Led by the acclaimed playwright and director Yu Murai, KPR has become known for its nonsensical yet profound style that sensationally weaves Japanese pop culture into reimagined scenes from Shakespearean plays. After Romeo & Toilet blew audiences away in 2009 at the New York International Fringe Festival and Rocky Macbeth turned the Society’s stage into a boxing ring in 2019, KPR is set to debut the New York City premiere of their version of the renowned play.
