The Sonic Life of a Giant Tortoise by Toshiki Okada

3 men, 2 women

A man wishes his girlfriend were dead. 

His girlfriend wishes she could fall asleep on the subway and ride it forever as it travels ever deeper underground. She wakes up and finds herself at a dance party in her honor. When she returns, she finds that decades have gone by and she tends to her aged and dying boyfriend.

But actually, she was just daydreaming in front of her computer at work.

A play about navigating personal relationships, dreams, and the mundanity of everyday tedium against an urban landscape.

 

English language premiere produced by the Play Company at JACK in May28 - June 9 2014.

Published in Yale THEATRE magazine, Volume 43, Number 1.
