John Caird doesn't see his staging of three plays in Japan this summer as making a big splash that leaves ever-decreasing ripples that then fade away.
Instead, this prominent English director with a Japanese wife and three children intends to work in Japan more frequently — if possible, splitting his time equally between the two countries.
With Caird admitting he is not sure yet how the Japanese theater world works, it is interesting to consider how he may fit into the scene here.
