  This production is part of a series conceived by Artistic Director Miyata Keiko (now in her fourth year), in which Ms. Miyata works closely with budding directors on the development of new productions.
  Director Mori Shintaro will tackle Edward II by Christopher Marlowe, one of the leading playwrights of Elizabethan England. Mori wowed with his directorial talents in NNTT's April 2011 production of Waiting for Godot ("Japan Meets" series, pt. IV). Edward II has been given a new translation by Kawai Shoichiro. Christopher Marlowe, who was a contemporary of Shakespeare, wrote six plays which also include Doctor Faustus and The Jew of Malta. Edward II will be the first of Marlowe's plays to be mounted as a full-fledged production in Japan.
  Marlowe is said to have greatly influenced Shakespeare; that influence can be seen in the latter's history play, Richard II. This daring production of Marlowe's multi-protagonist play features a detailed recreation of a forest, and is certain to get the theatre world talking.
