Exciting Comedy Play 'The NEET Who Travels Through Time' by Africa Theatre Group
A Thrilling Journey with 'The NEET Who Travels Through Time'
The Africa Theatre Group is set to captivate audiences with its latest production, 'The NEET Who Travels Through Time', running from April 17 to April 20, 2025, at the Blue Square Yotsuya. This delightful comedy brilliantly melds elements of youth culture, fantasy, and the spirited world of otaku.
Overview of the Production
Written by Morono Mocharati and directed by Yu Sugiyama, this play is an excellent showcase of the creativity and versatility of the Africa Theatre Group. The production emerges from a rich tradition of diverse theatrical works, from comedies to historical dramas and science fiction, all since the company’s inception in 2008 under the leadership of Hiroshi Nakayama.
The narrative revolves around the protagonist, Machiya Makuage, whose journey kicks off dramatically when his prized doujinshi is destroyed by his mother. Unwilling to accept this loss, Machiya boards a time machine crafted by his childhood friend, a skilled hacker named Kadokubo. Instead of returning to the moment before his doujinshi was damaged, he finds himself inadvertently transported to Akihabara in the fall of 1984.
As Machiya tries to figure out a way back to his own time, he unexpectedly encounters his younger father. This meeting serves as a poignant and humorous element that weighs the struggles of youth against familial relationships.
