“When Japanese immigrant Kiyoko Kitchen’s husband dies and she is confronted with elder abuse, she seeks a way to live independently given the fortitude that so long ago generated her immigration to America. Her endeavor synchronizes with a surreal world in which a character based upon her illuminates her youth. The play’s title comes from the Japanese notion of kachou fuugetsu — we can learn about ourselves in the experience of nature.”
