A.R.T./New York Theatres
502 West 53rd Street, Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan

Toshiki Okado writes plays that reflect the experiences of his generation, coming of age during the 1990s bubbleburst in Japan.  His dialogue sounds more overheard than written -- but his presentation of characters is highly stylized, not realistic.  This one deals with people's reactions to a more recent signal event in Japan:  2011's earthquake and consequent nuclear disaster.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  This might seem overly programatic, but it is nearly impossible not to send you down 53rd Street to Torishin, which gets my highly enthusiastic vote as the best yakitori in New York.
