The Legend of the Morning Glory is a Kabuki tale of a rich girl who falls in love with a poor boy, written and performed by Brenda Wong Aoki, featuring taiko drumming, shakuhachi flute, and dance. Brenda has broken barriers and established a new artistic genre as a contemporary American storyteller. Her work is a synthesis of Japanese Noh and Kyogen Theater, Commedia Dell’arte, modern dance and every day experiences. The Legend of the Morning Glory is a story about a poor boy and a samurai’s daughter. Separated from the boy, the girl weeps until she goes blind. Wandering the countryside, she becomes the Morning Glory, an itinerant storyteller, until one day, years later ...  Come join us at the World Theater for an evening with one of America’s foremost theater performers.
