		〜Shakespeare Festival〜 Program The “Lonely Shakespeare Drama” Series Measure for Measure by Mitsuka Kusunoki (Her own interpretation in Japanese) Conveners: Professor Takahiro Takeuchi (Aoyama University) Professor Kazuhiko Murai (Kyushu University)
Mitsuka Kusunoki Profile Born in Tokyo in 1962, Mitsuka Kusunoki has established her own unique style as a ‘lone’ comic performer in 1990 after performing in a comedy group and having worked as a script writer for radio. Her major work, the “Tokyo 100 beauties” series, is still repeatedly performed. Since 2000, she has been performing the ‘Lonely Shakespeare Drama (LSD)’ series, aiming to stage Shakespeare’s whole works in 10 years (on her own as a ‘solo’ artist). Between October 2000 (when she performed Macbeth) and February 2009 (Timon of Athens), she has been keeping up a steady pace of performing around 4 plays annually. Now she is in the final stage, with only 9 works left to do, such as Love’s Labour’s Lost and The Tempest. Currently based in Kitasenjyu, Tokyo, her activities do not seem to cease: while constantly delivering innovative performances, she also tours around the whole country; and, especially in recent years, she enjoys a strong fan-base in Hokkaido. The concept of LSD can be summarized as follows: (a) Shakespeare aims at a popular (low-brow) audience; (b) sexual vulgarity is significant in Shakespeare; and (c) Shakespeare is an ingenious developer of all sorts of gags.
