 40 Minutes from the Back         Godzilla         It Is Said The Men Are Over In The Steel Tower

40 Minutes from the Back

Synopsis:
In Kabuki plays, there are numerous stories glamorizing joint suicide between lovers. 40 Minutes from the Back puts a contemporary spin on this classical Japanese theme. The story begins in a hot spring town in northern Japan, on the top floor of an 8-story hotel overlooking an ocean-side cliff. Aimoto, a middle aged man, insists on having a massage, despite the late hour. Setsuko arrives to provide the service. A single 40 minutes massage session ensues and these two characters are found to have more in common than just a simple massage. They are both struggling to hang on in the face of death. By unveiling the reality of suicide as something unglamorous, 40 Minutes from the Back strays from the traditional Kabuki theme and leaves us with the optimistic view that the two characters will find resolution and healing through each other and not through a love suicide pact.

It Is Said The Men Are Over In The Steel Tower

Synopsis:
A black comedy about four men of vaudeville team, "The Happy Lads", on a morale-boosting tour for army troops during a war. The play deals with wartime and identity, yet it remains a comedy. The play addresses no specific place or time. Rather it suggests the characters are at a battlefront somewhere in the world. The play focuses on the interpersonal relationships of the four men, and how they behave in the surroundings of an ongoing war.
