10 August 2023 - 9 September 2023
Park Theatre presents the global premiere of The Garden of Words, a new play based on the stereotype-defying Anime and novel by world-renowned Japanese film maker Makoto Shinkai.
A refreshingly candid Tokyo tale reminiscent of the adorable melancholy of Lost in Translation. Delve deeper into Shinkai’s visually emotive story about the lines between platonic and romantic longing and what it is to feel alone in the biggest metropolis in the world. Seven lost souls, drowning in technology yet unable to connect.
From the UK’s Whole Hog Theatre, creators of the world’s first stage adaptation of a Hayao Miyazaki film with the kind permission of Studio Ghibli (Princess Mononoke), and Tokyo’s Anime stage production specialists Nelke Planning (Attack on Titan, Naruto, Sailor Moon stage productions) comes a unique, new Anglo-Japanese collaboration.
The Garden of Words runs from 10 August 2023 until 9 September 2023 at Park Theatre London.
What's the story of The Garden of Words?
Takao and Yukari are escaping.
Whilst seeking solace in a Japanese garden, an out-of-step woman and an offbeat teenager meet by chance. Social misfits with a shared sense of loneliness, the unlikely pair bond over classical poetry, shoemaking and bad cooking. But the heartfelt companionship that could save them might also ruin them…
Who are the creative team of The Garden of Words?
Originally by Makoto Shinkai, adapted by Whole Hog Theatre. Directed by Alexandra Rutter.
