Dueling Samurai, Forbidden Love
The Rorschach Theatre is presenting Fair Ladies at a Game of Poem Cards, a dramatization of an 18th century play by Chikamatsu Monzaemon, who often is described as the "Shakespeare of Japan."
The play, by Peter Oswald, runs through February 19 at the Sanctuary Theatre, Casa Del Pueblo Methodist Church, 1459 Columbia Road, Columbia Heights, Md.
Threatened with death by a jealous and cunning lord, two pairs of young lovers embark on a harrowing adventure through a world of dueling samurai, courtly intrigue and spiritual redemption, a world where love can transform a kingdom.
The Daily Mail of London's review said, "Peter Oswald has created a remarkable fairytale, allegory and martial-arts thriller. Forbidden love between a samurai and a lady-in-waiting unleashes a Shakespearian profusion of mistaken identities and dastardly plots."
