Today I went to see a play with my classmates. It was called Enjoy by the Japanese playwright Toshiki Okada. Apparently it was only in Japanese until a lovely American-Japanese woman Aya Ogawa translated.
So, I read the play for my class. It was pretty fucking ridiculous in text form. It was like talking like this..but - not really like that cus that would be weird right? But you know if you think about it - like we all - like you know, talk like this.
Yeah...it was a pain to read. Though, in performance mode it sounds absolutely normal! It's showing at the 59E59 Theater; which is pretty hype that their building happens to be number 59 on 59th street in Manhattan.
The play was alright. Definitely different I must admit. The props and background were barely there and it was mostly about the actors and actresses onstage. The play is focused on a band of co-workers that work in a manga cafe in the urban area of Shinjuku, Japan. It really discusses the generation gap and how they're not so different from each other. There's also a growing problem in Japan where college graduates are stuck with unskilled part-time jobs. Also how society views age, for example : if you've hit thirty and haven't made anything out of your career then you're a loser. A mindset, which I must admit sets us all up because this can happen to anyone.
