I always see Mira Anju (#安寿ミラ) as a woman but that’s fine by me! Maybe I appreciate the otokoyaku (male role players) in a different way from Japanese audiences. It doesn’t matter, the magic still works. And what magic it is!

I'd been under the impression that the Takarazuka performance in July 1994 was my first proper theatre experience, but this Turgenev play was in Feb/Mar 1994, so came before it.
I love Helen Mirren (and had the most massive crush on her at the time) but I don't recall being blown away by 'A Month In The Country'.
Joseph Fiennes kept fiddling with his sleeve. I'd forgotten John Hurt was even in it.

Cantonese Opera is one of the most ‘different’ performance traditions I’ve ever encountered but Pak Suet-sin / #白雪仙 and her partner Yam Kim-fai / #任劍輝 have won me over.
Their chemistry is extraordinary. Pak is luminous and her face is constantly ‘talking’ to you. Yam has a lovely mixture of nobility & vulnerability.
The energy is VERY different from Takarazuka.
