Sake Katana
The fastest sword in Japan
Clashing Western lands
- A haiku
A samurai flees Japan for the West, desperate to start again after a tragic past. He seeks friendship, love and a quiet life beneath the cherry blossoms. But will shadows from his past come calling?
This absurd and tender show is driven by audience interaction and the raw vulnerability of a clown. Expect cultural mayhem and plenty of ha-ha moments in a mischievous comedy about honour, romance, and very Western problems.
Sake Katana explores what happens when samurai seriousness meets fish-out-of-water chaos. A dash of classic character comedy makes this perfect for fans of clown theatre, East-meets-West stories, and Asian culture in a modern London setting.
‘Potent in its imagery, authenticity, perverse logic and volatility’
