I saw the original three times, once in previews and twice more during its run. Isao Sato was a marvelous Kayama. I’ve seen it three more times since then: with the Pegasus Players in Chicago, in the Roundabout revival (Alvin Ing, the Shogun’s Mother in 1976, was the Old Man in “Someone in a Tree”), and at CSC with George Takei as the Reciter. “I was there then; I am here still.”
