2 December 2017 – 3 December 2017 @ Theatre West, Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, Japan

Due to unavoidable circumstances, although “DRUMS” was scheduled to be performed in two parts, only the first half, written and directed by Chong Tze Chien (Singapore), was performed. 

“DRUMS” was scheduled to be performed in two parts—the first part written and directed by Chong Tze Chien (The Finger Players theatre company, Singapore) and the second part written and directed by Shigeki Nakano (Shigeki Nakano + Frankens, Japan). Unfortunately, due to Mr. Nakano’s poor health, performance of the second part was not possible.

The program was changed and featured the first part only.
