ONU features award-winning Japanese play "Proud Son"

Ohio Northern University's International Play Festival will feature the award-winning play by Shu Matsui, titled Proud Son. The Play will be performed April 25-28 (7:30 p.m. Thurs -Sat, 2:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday), at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts, located at 525 South Main St., Ada, OH 45810. There will be a discussion with the playwright and company after Friday night and Sunday afternoon performances. The play has been described as a darkly comic, whimsical reflection of contemporary Japanese society. A reclusive man named Tadashi chooses to hide away from society by creating an imaginary kingdom in his apartment. His mother boasts of her son's ingenuity and goes in search of him; a brother and sister who have heard of Tadashi's nation/kingdom also join him, along with a quirky neighbor who lives next door. They are aided by a narrator/tour guide.To purchase tickets for this event, visit: http://www.onu.edu/academics/college_of_arts_and_sciences/theatre/49213.
