Nadeshiko

Seattle Center
305 Harrison Street Seattle

A world premiere from one of Seattle's preeminent theater artists, Keiko Green, Nadeshiko is the story of two generations of Asian women who are reclaiming their power from idealized perceptions of beauty. A young woman in Japan during World War II takes on the role of caregiver to soldiers who will soon fly to their deaths. Risa is a woman in modern times who takes on a peculiar gig from Craigslist in order to pay her rent. As personal and sexual boundaries blur, the stories of women from two different generations intersect in this discovery of power within idealized Asian beauty. Each play in Sound Theatre's 2017 season is written and directed by women.
