A Yukio Mishima double bill: Hanjo & Hell Screen
Oval House Theatre
"StoneCrabs present a double-bill of miniatures with considerable style.. Wai Yin Kwok's design of paper screens, tatami mats and vermillion falling leaves is ravishing, as is the dancing of Yuka You-Ri Yamanaka, dressed in an exquisite silk kimono."
Sam Marlowe, Time Out
"...very stylishly mounted...an interesting mid twentieth-century reworking of a very formal kind of theatre."
Howard Loxton, The British Theatre Guide
"...a fast paced, tightly directed, beautifully choreographed tragi-comic tale.. StoneCrabs Theatre are to be congratulated for a challenging and informative evening combining the talents of both British and Japanese artists."
Dave Jordan, What's on stage
"wonderfully twisted and complex fables of morality.. StoneCrabs attack the tales with gusto and pathos in equal measure."
Samuel John, Extra! Extra!
