Theater Arts Caltech, directed by Brian Brophy, presents Rashomon at Descanso Gardens and the Caltech campus March 23, 2013

A woodcutter, a thief, a young woman and a samurai meet in the forest. Each tells a different story of the same event--Just who can you believe? The 90 minute production features Caltech graduate students, Amit Lakhanpal, Benjamin R. Sveinbjornsson, Zachary J. Tobin, Kari Alison Hodge and Utkarsh Mital, Caltech undergrad Ella Dodd, Staffer K Zachary Abbott and JPLers Hui Ying Wen and Joseph Cook (alum). Caltech’s Brian Brophy directs this fully-staged production based on Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's classic film and the Broadway script by Fay and Michael Kanin and edited by dramaturg Ann K. Lindsey. The original bamboo set designed by international artist Stephen Glassman.
