Theatre and Drama

RETURNING IN SEPTEMBER!

In a forest grove, a samurai is found dead, his wife assaulted, and a notorious bandit is captured. But as the mystery of the crime unfolds, witnesses tell very different stories of what happened. Based on the stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa that were adapted into the iconic 1950 film by Japanese master Akira Kurosawa, “Rashomon” shows the elusive nature of truth.

Director David Furumoto leads cast members Nan Asuncion, Reez Bailey, Ben Dellheim, Allison Hesselberg, Liam McCarthy, Ryan Siddell, John Wang, and Rae Wasson in a dramatic retelling of this influential and powerful story.

Content Warning: This play contains mature content including depictions of physical violence and sexual assault.

Please Note: Due to restrictions regarding UW campus events, seating is limited. Seating is limited to 50% capacity and patrons are asked to leave 3 seats open between groups (seating is General Admission). In addition, individuals who are not vaccinated should wear a face covering.

Performances will be held September 16-26, 2021 in the Ronald E. Mitchell Theatre, Vilas Hall 821 University Avenue Madison WI 53706
