Tonight we welcome Japanese author Murasaki Shikibu to kick off the book launch of her novel The Tale of Genji, one of the first novels ever written. Like, in the whole world. Granted, our event is over 1,000 years late, but Lady Murasaki is ready to make up for lost time. If you’re lucky, she might even talk about the book. Meet Murasaki Shikibu Followed by Book Signing, and Other Things is a playful, explosively theatrical play about rediscovered cultural identity and the uncomfortable heat of the American melting pot.

From the Adjudicators: "Incredibly enjoyable, heartfelt, and a different kind of night at the theatre!"
