KEARNEY – University Theatre at Kearney presents “Rashomon” with a run of five shows Wednesday through Sunday at Miriam Drake Theatre.
The University of Nebraska at Kearney production includes 7:30 p.m. performances Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and concludes with a 2 p.m. show Sunday.
“Rashomon” is set in Japan, about 1,000 years ago, at a police court in a nearby forest. The wife of a Samurai officer is assaulted and her husband killed by a roving bandit. Contradictory versions of what happened are reenacted at the trial by the bandit, the wife and the dead husband, who speaks through a medium. Each version is true in its fashion, but which is the truth?
Tickets are $10 for adults; $8 for non-UNK students, seniors and UNK faculty/staff; $7 for groups of 10 or more; and free for UNK students with a valid ID. For reservations, contact the Theatre Box Office at (308) 865-8417 or boxoffice@unk.edu
