Following the TV anime to premiere in Japan on January 9, a stage play adaptation of Aya Kanno’s dark fantasy historical drama manga Baraou no Souretsu / Requiem of the Rose King is scheduled to be performed at Nihon Seinenkan Hall in Tokyo in June 2022.
Based on an early draft of Shakespeare’s Richard III, Aya Kanno’s dark fantasy finds the man who could be king standing between worlds, between classes, between good and evil.
Richard, the ambitious third son of the House of York, believes he is cursed, damned from birth to eternal darkness.
