RASHOMON Rashomon is a play in two acts which deals with an adult theme. The action takes place in Kyoto, Japan, about a thousand years ago at the great Ra- shomon Gate. Before the time of the play, it was the largest gate in Kyoto, the ancient capitol of Japan. It was 106 feet wide and 26 feet deep, its stone wall rising 75 feet. With the decline of West Kyoto, the gate fell into bad re- pair and became a decayed relic with an unsavory reputation, a hideout for thieves and a dump for unclaimed corpses. The play opens with the priest, who is leaving the church because he doesn't understand mans actions, a poor woodcutter, who tries to convince the priest not to leave, and the wigmaker, a cynic who couIdn't care one way or another. The priest and the woodcut- ter are retelling the tale of their exper- ience ofthe bloody murder ofa proud Samurai, by the legendary thief Toja- moru, after the rape of his wife and the testimonies of the parties involved. Throughout the story the scenes filter back and forth to the forest and the court, in which the murder is re-en- acted through the action of charactors and through the story of the wood cut- ter and the priest.
