Okiku

Okiku @ KLPAC

My girlfriend is involved in an upcoming play titled 'Okiku'. This play is based on a classic Japanese ghost story. The story behind this is about some perverted Samurai who blackmails a maid in his house into becoming his mistress by framing her for the theft of some valuable plates, or something like that. The maid in turn, throws herself into a well in desperation and...ermm..basically dies.

Wait, that's now how it ends. The good part is when she returns as a ghost and haunts the perverted samurai every single night till he goes insane. I can so picture my girlfriend as a vengeful, crazy, wailing-in-the-middle-of-the-night ghost! I think she'll be superb at it...hahahah.

For a proper description of the story of Okiku, head on over to here. In the mean time, here are some posters to whet your appetite.
