"Once the curtains are opened, they must never be lowered" - this play depicts the spirit and struggles of stage artists as they encounter one unfolding situation after another, and was a hit that was revived in 1994 and even produced for television.

Dorobô to Wakatono:
(The Thief and the Samurai Lord)
This is a new play that is a dramatization of a story by popular historical novelist Yamamoto Shûgorô which depicts the heartwarming bond between an ill-fated young lord and a good-natured thief. Matsudaira Narinobu (Nakamura Tanenosuke), the second son of lord Matsudaira Ôinokami, is confined in a dilapidated house due to a conspiracy hatched by the evil chief retainer. The thief Denkurô (Nakamura Kashô) breaks into the house but finds nothing to steal. Feeling pity for Narinobu who has not enough to eat, he takes care of him. After that, the extraordinary coexistence of Denkurô and Narinobu begins... This is a heart-warming piece depicting the bond between the charming and sympathetic thief, and the pessimistic and ill-fated young lord. Featuring also Nakamura Matagorô.

Omatsuri: Nakamura Matagorô as a gallant fireman boss at a festival telling a rueful tale of failure in love and showing the vigorous work songs of firefighters.
