Performance content

Shakespeare's historical drama series, which has continued since 2009, is finally reaching its finale. Up to now, this series depicts the battle between human beings, such as the civil war in Britain, the war against France, and the obsession with power. Through various "conflict", we have drawn the stupidity and sublimeness of human activities to the fullest, and have gained high evaluation.
His final work, Richard II, is historically the oldest historical drama, and the capture of the throne from Richard II by Bollingbrook (later Henry IV), who was the beginning of all the battles and caused the people's conflict, is drawn to life. It is a performance that is the key to making it the final work and solving the starting point.
The cast will be performed by actors such as Kenichi Okamoto, Kenji Unai, and Kyoko Naka, as well as director Hitoshi Sasayama and other staff members in almost the same formation. The magnificent history picture scroll that seded 12 years is finally completed.
In the fall of 2020, works related to Shakespeare will be performed in all three divisions of opera, dance and theater.
br />>>The Royal Palace of Richard II. In front of the king, two aristocracy, Mobray and Henry Bollingbrook, Duke of Norfolk, are summoned. Bollingbrook charges that Mobrey was involved in the recent assassination of the Duke of Gloucester, but Mobrey denies this. The king's ruling was to black and white by duel at a later date. On that day, when the duel finally begins, the king suddenly pronounces the cancellation of the duel and the expulsion of the two.
Bollingbrook is exiled for six years, but when his father, John of Gound, dies, King Richard confiscates his property. In addition to this outpost, it is reported that Bollingbrook will lead a large army and return home to the aristocrats who had raised dissatisfaction with Richard's death until then, seeking the restoration of the lost honor.
Aristocrats in Bollingbrook one after another. With the support of the people, he advances his troops to confront the castled king. Two people who are taken by Bollingbrook's uncle York and meet each other. Bollingbrook demands only his own restoration of honor, but the under pressured king declares his own he will take over.
