The masterpiece two-person play “The University of Laughter,” which was written by Mitani Yukiyoshi and premiered in 1996, will be performed in Japan for the first time in a quarter of a century since its replay in 1998. This is the first time that Yukiyoshi Mitani himself has directed. Starting with the Tokyo performances from 2/8 to 3/5, they will be performed in Niigata, Nagano, Osaka, Fukuoka, Miyagi, Hyogo, and Okinawa.
Synopsis: The time is Showa 15, which is rich in wartime. The characters are Mukosaka Mutsuo (Sakisaka Mutsuo/Uchino Seiyo), a censor clerk at the Metropolitan Police Department, and Tsubaki Ichi (Tsubaki Hajima/Seto Yasushi), a seated writer for the theater company “University of Laughter.” Mukosaka, who says that comedies etc. will never be allowed in an emergency, repeats relentless orders in an attempt to force the performance to be canceled. However, Tsubaki, who wants to somehow get permission to perform, takes advantage of the impossible and difficult questions requested by Mukosaka, and challenges the rewriting from the front. Set in the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department, a drama about two opposing men begins.
