A former warehouse space in George Town, Penang is set to host the Noh-inspired theatre play The Italian Restaurant. The play, a Japanese and Malaysian collaboration, is part of the George Town Festival.
It was written by Naohiko Umewaka, a grand master of the Japanese traditional Noh theatre. He continues to perform Noh at the highest level, in addition to writing and directing new plays and conducting academic research on the art.
