War With The Newts

September 24 @ 7:00 pm - September 27 @ 9:30 pm

A brand new adaptation of Karel Čapek’s timeless theatre classic, adapted & directed by Kazue Horimasu.

The Great Depression, commencing in 1929, ravaged not just the USA and Europe, but the entire globe. Humanity found survival by exploiting the highly intelligent Newts. Eventually, the thriving human race became dependent on them. Yet, the Newts initiated a significant retaliation. How do we navigate this? Various nations’ desires collided. What path should the world have taken in this turbulent era?

Originally published in 1936, this work is newly revived as a warning for our times.

  • Adapted and directed as a dissertation project by Kazue Horimasu, an MFA Theatre Directing student at East 15 Acting School.
  • Performed by East 15 alumni and student actors from Czechia, the USA, the UK, China, Lithuania and Japan.
