Full production description

Based on the stories of Haruki Murakami Conceived, Staged and Directed by Matthew Lenton Written by Sandy Grierson and Matthew Lenton Step into the subconscious with Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey, an international collaboration between Scotland’s Vanishing Point and Japan’s Kanagawa Arts Theatre (KAAT) that brings the celebrated world of author Haruki Murakami to the stage. Created by Matthew Lenton, Sandy Grierson and the company, the award-winning production returns to Scottish stages following its sold-out run in 2025, before heading on an international tour. The story follows Mizuki, an ordinary woman whose ordinary life shifts off-course one day when she forgets her own name. Her search for answers leads deep into Tokyo's subterranean underground. And high up in a mountain ryokan, a traveller is startled by a hot-spring-tending monkey who speaks ‘human language’, enjoys Bruckner
