SANDAIME RICHARD

COSTUME DESIGNER

In this witty satire of power from one of Japan’s most prolific writer-directors, Shakespeare is put on trial for falsifying history and the defamation of Richard Sandaime (Richard III), the Grand Master of Ikebana. The playwright will pit his wits against his prosecutor, Maachan. But who is Maachan? And who will win? With a queer and intercultural layering, this production by Ong Keng Sen will fuse play, parable and performance with subversive glee.
