I Left No Ring With Her: Viola’s Ring Speech

HAPPY VALENTINE!

I have four news today for you.

1. 7th Februrary was Elica’s birthday!

Thank you all for the lovely birthday messages for me through SNS. I love you all and you are my treasure!
These days I ponder the reason why I live as I am.
What can I do as a theatre director-actor?
Why the God(s) gave me this occupation to achieve what?
I always think about those questions.

2. Online Workshop for international Japanese actors.

I am going to hold onilne workshop for Japanese actors who wish to work with English language. If you are interested in learning Japanese, maybe it is a nice workshop to join. I will use The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde. Anyone interested, contact me.

3. I Left No Ring With Her.

Viola’s Ring Speech, Twelfth Night, Shakespeare.

“I left no ring with her, what means this lady?” in English!
