The latest edition of TPR News is on the way. In the meantime, a few updates that might interest our readers:

First, Goldhawk Productions, an independent producer of radio plays for BBC Radio 4, is preparing to cast and record a radio drama here in Japan and is currently in touch with local theater companies, looking for the right folks.

I might be completely wrong, but, based on whom they’re looking for and the type of subject matter that often forms the focus of BBC Radio 4 plays, I’m betting it’ll be either about or influenced by the murder of Lindsay Ann Hawker.

Second, the Black Stripe Theater has begun work on its next production: The Homecoming by Harold Pinter, directed by Walter Roberts (Levene in the BST’s recent production of David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross) at Atelier Fontaine Theater July 4th through 6th.

The BST sold out all five of its performances of Glengarry Glen Ross pretty quickly and is growing in reputation, so e-mail them at blackstripetheater@yahoo.com soon to order tickets and avoid disappointment. For more info, you can also have a look at BST’s website.
Finally, I’m now Twitter-ing on behalf of TPR, primarily to keep people updated between releases on TPR, but also to comment on a variety of other things. You can find us there under the username “TPRJP.”
