Issei Ishida gets first lead role in 11 years

The unique theater group Gekidan Taishu Shosetsuka has announced its 13th production. The play is called “Blue Blue Birthday” and will feature actor Issei Ishida in his first lead stage role in about 11 years. Co-starring with him is Hello! Project leader Yuko Nakazawa. Takashi Sumita and Kengo Okuchi also appear in the play.

Writer Yutaka Hirooka and director Yoshiyuki Yano have teamed up to create this somewhat dark comedy about a family that is taken hostage. 14 performances are scheduled from June 22 to July 2 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space. The official site is here.
