Description

Description

This story is set in 1940 in Japan when the country is preparing for war and censorship is imposed on the popular form of entertainment “engeki” (theatre), and the narrative tells of the tug of war between a playwright and a government censor. Tsubaki Hajime, a young playwright of comedies for the drama group “University of Laughs”, does all he can to try to make his work pass under the stringent eye of the die-hard government censor, Sakisaka Mutsuo. Sakisaka rejects his script time and time again, so endless revisions, objections and reconciliations ensue. Can Tsubaki finally pass the censor’s eye by sheer persistence and belief in himself? Can the play reach the stage after all?
