Making Off-Broadway debut this Spring!

I'm making my Off-Broadway debut this spring! (What!?) This opportunity feels incredibly special and personal in so many ways. Ever since I left NYC in 2017, I’ve dreamed of returning to this vibrant city to perform again. And now, in 2025—the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII—I have the honor of bringing The Mistake, a play based on the accounts of Hiroshima, to the U.S. stage.

It’s deeply moving to be able to tell this story in America at such a significant time in history. And to do so in New York, a city that once ignited my passion for chasing big dreams, makes this experience even more profound.

1942. On an abandoned squash court, a dazzling scientific experiment takes place that three years later will destroy a city and change the world forever. This compelling new play by Michael Mears (‘One exceptional man’ (Observer)) explores the events surrounding the catastrophic "mistake" that launched our nuclear age. Through the lives of a brilliant Hungarian scientist, a daring American pilot and a devoted Japanese daughter. Partly using verbatim testimonies, this powerful drama confronts the dangers that arise when humans dare to unlock the awesome power of nature.

We will also be touring in the US this April prior to the off-broadway run.

🇯🇵 この春、オフ・ブロードウェイデビューが決まりました！一昨年のイギリスツアーに続き、『The Mistake』全米ツアー/NYC公演に出演します。

2017年にNYを離れて以来、いつかまたこの街に戻って舞台に立ちたいと願っていました。そして2025年、終戦80周年という節目の年に、広島・原爆を題材にしたこの作品をアメリカで上演できることに、強い想いを感じています。

そして何より、大きな夢を追うきっかけをくれたバイタリティ溢れる街、ニューヨークで、この作品を通じて再び舞台に立てることが本当に感慨深いです。
