The final year students challenge "Pillars of Society(Samfundets Støtter)", written by Norwegian playwright Henrik IBSEN, known as the Father of Modern Drama, under the direction of MIYATA Keiko, Director of the Studio.
In 1877, the play premiered in Denmark, followed by performances in Norway and Sweden, and got huge reputation also in Germany. In 1880 in London, the play became the first one performed in English among IBSEN's work.
In recent years, National Theatre in London performed this play in 2005.
The story depicts some universal themes such as capitalism and dignity of human nature, etc.
This performance will be the culmination of NNT Drama Studio's three- year- curriculum.
If you are comfortable with the Japanese language, please come and support these upcoming actors.
