Nio's
Story and the Origins of the Shinsengumi
In this
tale of samurai, we follow Nio, an orphan who dreams of a better
world. His destiny changes when he meets two men who teach him the true power
of the sword and drag him back to the beginnings of the legendary Shinsengumi organization.
The action-packed and dramatic play shares a setting with Rurouni
Kenshin and shows how a group of men marked by justice – and their own
interests – make their way through a turbulent era.
