A Scary Ghost Story .. Live and in Person!

Earlier tonight, I attended a performance of a spooky ghost story featuring two actors I occasionally blog about: Masanori Machida and Shoji Mori. 


The ghost story was quite intriguing. Usually, these performances are narrated and acted by only one (or sometimes two) actors, and several of them are done throughout the evening. But even though the performers still read from a script, they all acted (complete with costumes) in the same play.

As luck would have it, tonight's show was a traditional Japanese ghost story, featuring a Grudge-style female ghost. It was like watching a classic 1950s- or '60s-era Japanese ghost movie by live actors. Quite cool, indeed.


After the play, there was a meet-and-greet with the actors. Naturally, it was time for photos, too. Suffice it to say, it was a fun way to spend an evening!
