The Genroku-Ako Incident: 47 Ronin


Ori and Oishi (disguised as Lady Fujimori and her handmaid) encounter the Monk.
During this production our esteemed Dramaturg has been bringing lunch in on the weekends. He felt it was necessary to eat Japanese food while we did this show even though he is anti-'method'. Of course, he hates fish, so he brings in these ramen bowls that he buys in bulk from a Japanese grocery. I'm not talking about crappy "Cup O Noodles" or "20 for $1" ramen packs, these are big styrofoam bowls that come with three or four different packets of stuff; extra fancy. There is no English anywhere on these bowls; study the picture-instructions carefully. I'm eating a lot of things I've never seen before. This guy has a thing about ramen and I was told today to get ready for more because there's a lot of ramen in William Gibson's work and we start on 'Burning Chrome' soon.
