Richard Emmert and Ashley Thorpe will join Alan Cummings to discuss the significance of English-language noh. They will explore its emergence in the 1970s, more recent projects, and possibilities for the future.
They will discuss the upcoming book Intercultural Japanese Noh Theatre: Texts and Analyses of English-language Noh, which is edited by Emmert and Thorpe, and will be published by Methuen in December 2024. They will talk about the textual, musical and performance-related relationships of English-language noh to the traditional repertory of noh, focusing on what makes this body of work distinctive from other kinds of intercultural work.
