| Description |
Subtitled An Occidental Noh play THE DAY ON WHICH A MAN DIES was dedicated by Williams to the Japanese novelist and playwright Yukio Mishima. A wry Mishima stand-in reflects on sex as power as a famous American painter - and the woman who is his mistress -- argue violently in a Tokyo hotel room, make up, make love, and betray each other
The production stars Steve Key in the role of the boundary-shattering painter, Jennie Moreau as his challenging mistress. Gerson Dacanay plays the role Williams titled the Oriental. Sean Patrick Walsh, a student in the final year of his professional actor training program at Northern Illinois University, is playing the role of the Japanese stagehand. The production is directed and designed by David Kaplan, the curator of the acclaimed Tennessee Williams Festival in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Paintings are created for these performances by Meghan Tracy. Costumes are by Karen Kawa.
The producer, SummerNITE is the award-winning professional theatre company attached to the School of Theatre and Dance at Northern Illinois University. Its most recent production was the English-language premiere of Romanian playwright Andras Viskys DISCIPLES directed by artistic director Christopher J. Markle.
