★Hideki Noda's unsolved psycho suspense, in which the characters of The Tale of Genji travel through time and space and revive to the present.★
The 4th installment in the Contemporary Nohgakushu series is "The Diver" written, directed and performed in English by Hideki Noda.
The anguish of women living in modern times is superimposed on the anguish of characters from Noh plays such as "Uminchu" and "The Tale of Genji" - Aoi no Ue, Yugao, Rokujou Miyasudokoro - and develops a multi-layered story typical of Noda's work. .
Catherine Hunter, who captivated the audience with her role as a salaryman in the English version of "THE BEE," will also appear.

●Introducing newspaper reviews of the performances in London.
〇 "One of the best shapeshifters ever, Catherine Hunter plays a formidable criminal. There's no role she can't play...a surprising replacement...a curiosity, Bewildered, amazed, fascinated."
The Guardian newspaper, Michael Billington

〇"Amazing, intense emotional expression...Hunter's shimmering performance, and the replacement shines like mercury. Noda, on the other hand...has a strong yet restrained presence. Harry Gostrow and Glyn Pu Richard is also a great supporting character."
Times newspaper

〇 "A program that attracts people... It expresses an image of obsessive and futile revenge that can never be forgotten for the rest of your life."
independent newspaper

〇 "The thoughts of Japanese writer/director Hideki Noda and Irish screenwriter Colin Teevan create a strangely thrilling play."
metro newspaper

〇 "Actress Catherine Hunter, who plays an excellent transformation like a chameleon ... shows off multiple personalities with rare ease."
daily telegraph newspaper
