    I adore Japanese theatre, and A NIGHT ON THE BRIDGE is a brilliant and poignant modern take of the ancient art. The rhythmic poetry is this piece is truly magical. ABSOLUTELY LOVELY.

    Got caught up in this one, then read it again and went even deeper into the poetry. Beautifully dreamlike, whilst being full of realism too. Highly recommend it.

    The spare and lyrical dialogue of this supremely moving play seduces the reader and heightens the impact of the narrative. This chance meeting between strangers is fraught with meaning and changes the course of their lives. This is a very special piece.
