A Unique Theatrical Experience: 'Two-Person Plays Restriction'

The highly anticipated short play series titled 'Two-Person Plays Restriction' will be performed from July 1 to July 6, 2025 at the Ueno Storehouse in Tokyo. This unique event is set to take theater enthusiasts on an emotional journey through a series of short plays that adhere to a fascinating premise: each piece features only two characters.

What to Expect?

The 'Two-Person Plays Restriction' is an omnibus performance that brings together diverse worlds crafted by different artists, offering a fresh perspective on storytelling. The two-character limit encourages creative expression that transcends genre boundaries, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in rich narratives told through a close-knit atmosphere.

The event showcases the talent of Nishida Shatorna, a well-known playwright and director celebrated for works such as Yowamushi Pedal. This performance marks a return to acting for Nishida, who will be joined by a host of multi-talented artists celebrated across various mediums including film and stage.

Why Small Theater?

In today's digital age, where streaming services have become the norm, there’s a sincere desire to share the intimate warmth of spoken words and a meaningful connection with audiences. This sentiment sharply influenced the planning of this show, as the small theater setting provides a perfect backdrop for delivering such experiences.

Performance Overview

The trajectory of each short play is distinct, allowing viewers to witness an array of emotional landscapes. The lineup includes notable artists such as Muraki Toshiro of Uwa no Sora and others equally skilled in various art forms.
