Abstract of performance/programme

An original comedy by the prolific Mitani Koki based on Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The sitcom-style show, set in London at the end of the 19th century, stars Kabuki actor Kataoka Ainosuke alongside television actress Yuka and comedian Fujii Takashi in their stage debuts. "I wanted to create a fun comedy that accomplishes nothing beyond laughter," recalls Mitani, who aimed to present universally humorous situations in their simplest form. The performance proved a relentless laugh riot.
