  To open the 2013/2014 season, we present Opus. The play is being directed by Ogawa Eriko, a budding director who is rapidly making a name for herself in the theatre world today. This will be the first installment of a series developed by Artistic Director Miyata Keiko. Ms. Miyata has said that she wanted to see how directors in their 30s view the world, and to watch their work as one of the audience.
  Opus, which premiered in the US in 2006, centers around four male members of a string quartet. It is a brilliant work that offers a humorous portrayal of human desires, ambition, suspicion, jealousy and betrayal.
  Ogawa Eriko brings her keen eye to directing the production, which features a new translation by Hirakawa Daisaku. Hirakawa earlier produced a critically praised translation for the NNTT production of Copenhagen. The role of Elliot, quartet leader, will be played by Danda Yasunori, who is coming off a fine performance in our recent production of The Hothouse.
  After its Tokyo run, the play is scheduled to be performed at Art Tower Mito.
