Treasured Noh Plays from the Desk of W. B. Yeats / Kita Noh Theater Company

Program A: Sat., Nov. 19, 7:30 PM Program B: Sun., Nov. 20, 5 PM In the early 20th century, poet W. B. Yeats (1865-1939) became highly immersed in the traditional Japanese noh plays translated by American poet Ezra Pound (1885-1972), resulting in a landmark publication of 15 English-language noh plays in 1916. One hundred years later, the distinguished Kita Noh Theater Company, led by Living National Treasure Tomoeda Akiyo, selects titles from this collection and showcases them for New York audiences.
