So, who will be the chief mourner?

Sueko passed away at the ripe old age of 109.
The staff at the facility said that Sueko's final moments were peaceful. Sueko's daughter, Kiyoko, also passed away last year. Kiyoko's husband, Koichiro, is still alive, but is currently on a dream cruise around the world. Her grandson, Satoko, is in a difficult position. The funeral director keeps pressuring her to be the chief mourner and to come up with a funeral plan. Just when she decides to take on the role of chief mourner, one after another, people start appearing, claiming to be the chief mourner...
What's that supposed to mean?
A comedy about a mourner!

Intro, the first new work in six years, will premiere in July 2024.
Although it was a slightly irreverent comedy, it was met with laughter and tears and ended with great acclaim.
And what's more, it will be making its appearance in the Sapporo Theater Season just one year and two months after its premiere, the fastest in history?
After the Osaka performance, the script was also polished.
In 2025, we will bring you a new "Hawateki."
