Japan's Modern Theatre

This book endeavours to unravel the complicated skeins of Japanese theatre in the modern period and offers an appreciation of the richness of choice of presentational and representational theatre forms.

'While Powell approaches theater as a live event, changing and responsive to change, the wealth of detailed scholarship in Japan's Modern Theatre also makes it an excellent reference work.' - Monumenta Nipponica
