Murakami on Stage

One of the most anticipated theater shows of this year’s Lincoln Center Festival is Yukio Ninagawa’s enthralling production of Kafka on the Shore, which is based on Haruki Murakami’s award-winning novel by the same title. In the play, 15-year-old Kafka is encouraged by his alter ego “Crow” to run away from his father’s home in Tokyo. The unhappy youth is searching for his mother and elder sister who left when he was very young. Along the way, he meets an assortment of eccentric characters, including Colonel Sanders. Click here to see why The Guardian calls the show a “sensuous theatrical spectacle,” and click here to read why The Telegraph says it is “hard to resist the tender playfulness of this beguiling production.” Click here for tickets and more information.
