About
Known for its radical “mistranslations” of Western and Eastern classics into contemporary everyday settings, Shigeki Nakano + Frankens returned to Festival/Tokyo for the first time in four years with this production. It is based on the popular Kido Okamoto detective stories, “The Curious Casebook of Inspector Hanshichi,” which are richly steeped in the atmosphere of Edo (feudal-era Tokyo). Audiences experienced this site-specific adaptation in the city of Matsudo in Chiba Prefecture, which is separated from Tokyo by a river. Join them as they take a trip to a unique series of locations in the city, hunting for clues to solve a mysterious case.

Shigeki Nakano + FrankensFormed in 2003, this company has developed a unique style of freely adapting and arranging translated drama and theatre texts. Its unorthodox and revisionist approach has both enthralled and angered fans of the original plays. Since 2010, its output has also included applied drama activities outside of regular theatre spaces.
