“the strength of Rorschach’s production is that rather than being just a collection of strong performances and occasionally moving moments, the work as a whole provides an unusual but captivating night at the theatre that is satisfying from beginning to end.”
— DCist

Threatened with death by a jealous and cunning lord, two pairs of young lovers embark on a harrowing adventure through a world of dueling samurai, courtly intrigue and spiritual redemption, a world where love can transform a kingdom.
