Explore “Possibilities”: A dark play on our primal needs & impulses Tokyo・March 21-24th

After spending the weekend  enjoying the transient beauty of the blooming cherry blossoms and G-rated entertainment –why not explore the darker side of human nature in a play by Tokyo’s Black Stripe Theater (Theatre). How can you resist entertainment that includes the following disclaimer: 

*Attention: The play contains nudity and themes unsuitable for children.
 It sound like a nice slice of Tokyo Vice.
