“One murder. Four truths.”
A Story Told Four Times
Based on the hit Broadway play by Fay and Michael Kanin and the landmark short stories of Akutagawa Ryūnosuke — "Rashōmon" and "In a Grove" — this bold new musical plunges into the heart of human nature. A samurai is found dead in a forest clearing. A bandit, the samurai's wife, and two others each tell a different story of what happened. Every account is true. Every account is a lie.
RASHŌMON: The Musical explores memory, self-deception, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive — set against the haunting beauty of feudal Japan, brought to life through an original score of sweeping theatrical power.
