A runaway winner that took the jury by storm at the Hong Kong Drama Awards
When humanity shines the brightest in the dark, suffocating Censor’s Office!
Set in 1940 in Japan when it is preparing for war and censorship is imposed on the popular form of entertainment, engeki, (‘theatre’), the story tells of the tug-of-war between a playwright and a government censor. Tsubaki Hajime, a young playwright of comedies for the drama group “University of Laughs”, does all he can to try to make it pass under the stringent eye of the die-hard government censor, Sakisaka Mutsuo. Sakisaka rejects his script time and again, so endless revisions, objections and reconciliations ensue. Can Tsubaki finally pass the censor’s eye by sheer persistence and belief in himself? Can the play go on stage after all? | | | | |  | | Creative Personnel and Cast | Playwright: KOKI MITANI
