Tokyo Tambourine, founded in 1995,until now, we have been creating works that can only be done through theater in small theaters, mainly in Tokyo.We also perform various styles plays in spaces other than theaters. For example, in our play “Wanowa,” which depicts the world of tea, We explored new theatrical developments using a real teahouse as the venue, and in October 2019 we performed in France.Our theatre performances will continue to portray the true essence of humanity in a gentle and sharp way.The November 2024 performance will be a re-run of “Hodasarete～I could’t help It” which was announced as the second installment of Tokyo Tambourine’s new signature work, “Funny Suspense.”We hope you will come and see Tokyo Tambourine, which continues to steadily evolve.If only I had done this at that time, or if only I had done that,Even if you regret it, it’s too late.Because it was already happened.Atsushi has just moved into a new house with his girlfriend. One night, his friends they married come to visit, and the dead body of Atsushi’s ex-girlfriend is discovered.

Tokyo Tambourine
The story, which exposes the darkness that modern people carry within their everyday conversations, is performed with a focus on “expression that can only be achieved through theater.”We also hold a number of planned performances, including simultaneous double feature performances, performances in the ward office lobby, performances in cafes, and “walking” plays that involve the shopping district and town.In particular, with the aim of “spreading circles around a Japanese motif,” the “Wanowa” project, which combines the world of tea ceremony with theater, also saw a performance in Paris, France.

Hiroko Takai
Playwright & director Born in Tokyo, Takai began her career as a playwright and director with her inaugural production Tatami and Noren in 1995. Her work is recognized for a simple portrayal of people’s “darkness in the heart” and “parts of defeat” through day-to-day conversations. From 2007 to 2008, she led script work on the triptych Fabrica, the first theater piece from film-maker Katsuyuki Motohiro. She also wrote the screenplay for Shokudo Katatsumuri (Snail Diner) based on Ito Ogawa Ito’s novel and the TV drama Soup Curry”. In October 2011 she directed French playwright David Lescot’s Un Homme en Faillite in its Japanese premiere. In September 2016 she wrote the script for the radio drama A Cup of Cheap Tea Despite the Rain (based on Eiko Matsumura’s novel).
