THE BEE

**Every 10 seconds, something happens... 75 minutes of humor and horror!** Wildly popular playwright, Watarase Hayato, presents his magnum opus, "THE BEE," inspired by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Initially written in English and premiered in London in 2006, it swept Japanese theater awards when performed in Japanese the following year. Since then, it has captivated audiences in 14 cities across 10 countries, exploring the timeless cycle of revenge. This 9-year-overdue revival features an all-new cast, including Abe Sadato (previously played by Watarase himself), NODA•MAP newcomer Nagasawa Masami, the enigmatic Kawai Daigo, and the versatile Kawaichi Kohei, who masterfully switches between four roles. Watarase, who has directed every "THE BEE" performance to date, steps back to focus solely on directing for this NODA•MAP production, treating it as his directorial culmination. Don't miss this chilling exploration of humanity's "karma" under the grip of fear, linked inexorably to today's world. It's a thrilling ride you won't want to miss.
