This Lingering Life by Chiori Miyagawa

New Dramatists presents a reading of This Lingering Life by Chiori Miyagawa.  This Lingering Life takes place in someplace like the U.S., where we meet a woman with tragic hair, feudal warriors, a mother whose son was kidnapped, a blind beggar, dead lovers, a pathetic old man in love with a teenager, a boy whose father is an arrow, and other sentient beings.  It all happens in the present time, except when it happens in an ancient era.  As in the Noh plays, which inspired it, this new play looks at the human condition through the Buddhist concept of Karma.  We all exist in a complex web of relationships, determined by emotions and actions from this life and previous lives.
