This is a tale of murder, theft, sexual misconduct and multiple truths. A samurai has been murdered and his wife raped. A woodcutter discovers the body, and a notorious bandit claims responsibility for the crime. A trial is held, and testimony is heard from the bandit, the woodcutter and the wife. Even the samurai manages to tell his side of the story, after being summoned by a medium.
There is only one problem. All the testimonies contradict each other. Based on Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s short stories, this multi-layered play will definitely whet your CSI appetite. More details: www.klpac.org.
