Trade Review

Another Stage provides students of nō with tools to appreciate Nobumitsu, his plays, and his time.... [The] chapters portray the nō when it was clearly a living and vibrant art, motivated by the creativity of its writers and actors, as well as the appetites of the broad-based audience that supported them. Another Stage paints a picture very different from what moderns usually think of as constituting the nō and will be useful for students and scholars interested in this often overlooked period of theater history.
