Celebrating the debt artists owe to their predecessors, these two plays - an original by Mitchell, and a translation from Eugene Labiche's Money's a Meddler, seek to illustrate the obvious and not so apparent chain of influence from writer to writer, that stretches across the ages.

The appeal of Asian Theater in America today confirms that the theatre of the Far East is a remarkable and catalytic experience for a Western audience. Staging Japanese Theatre presents two complete plays in the theatrical forms of Noh and Kabuki. Each play appears in Japanese with English translations on facing pages and is pre-ceded by a brief history of the theatre form and the evolution of the production. The text contains an abundance of photographs, diagrams, and the stage directions from the IASTA performance.
