It is followed by "Tsuchiya Chikara".

Kawarasaki Kunitarô, Arashi Yoshisaburô, Soganoya Kantarô, Yagyû Keisuke & others

The usual Zenshinza Spring program, not at the National Theatre (closed) but at the Sunshine Theatre (Tôkyô)! "Ura Nagaya Sôdôki", which was written by the veteran movie director Yamada Yôji and was premiered in May 2017 at the National Theatre, is based on two famous rakugo stories, "Rakuda" and "Ido no Chawan". The guest star is the Shinkigeki actor Soganoya Kantarô.
