About Between the Stones
Noh is a highly aesthetic form of theatre featuring dance, music and poetry. The evening opens with Takasago, a classical noh drama based on the legend of the twin pines of Sumiyoshi and Takasago, a story about love and longevity. Next, English noh drama Between the Stones explores how the healing power of gardens can turn the burden of grief into a celebration of life, friendship and love. Author Jannette Cheong and composer Richard Emmert were hailed by The Stage for their first collaboration at Southbank Centre in 2009: ‘To have created a new Noh play but retained total authenticity is nothing short of brilliant.’ They collaborate with noh performers Teruhisa and Kinue Oshima and Akira Matsui. Kinue Oshima, the only professional female noh actor in the Kita school, takes the lead role. Age Recommendation: 12+
