Here is a story of unrequited love in which boy meets girl who meets another girl. The doomed love triangle features K (Naruto Komatsu), lusting after Sumire (Millicent Wong) who, in turn, is drawn to Miu (Natsumi Kuroda).
Based on the novel of the same name by Haruki Murakami, in which these characters’ lives become entwined but might well be figments of each other’s imaginations, Bryony Lavery’s script sleekly realises the author’s quirks for the stage. These ethereal characters hover in an uber-cool hyper reality and share existential loneliness and unfulfilled desires.
